"This is one of our most under-utilized member benefits at ACMA and one that has significant potential cost-savings for composites companies," says Scott Lindley, ACMA's VP for Membership, Marketing and Sales. "We've had several members report 5-figure savings in yearly energy costs by simply having Energy Professionals analyze their energy usage and negotiate for better rates."
To which Jim Mathers, a nuclear engineer and President of Energy Professionals added: "We are very excited about helping the ACMA. Manufacturers have a lot to gain from energy solutions. Just last year we helped an Indiana cement plant reduce their energy costs by $500,000."
