12/18/2009 - NBSF goes green with energy saving equipment

As a longtime advocate of ecologically friendly textile production, NBSF's domestic manufacturing facility completed the first phase of our 2 year mission to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The project, introduced in the fourth quarter of 2009, involved a plant wide comprehensive energy audit and targeted specific measures to reduce electricity consumption. As part of our first phase, we replaced four old style rotary screw compressors with a new high- efficiency Sullair / Airtek compressed air system with the help of our longtime vendor Comairco Systems. This change results in a net savings of 300,000 kWh yearly, or the equivalent of removing 215 metric tons of harmful greenhouse gas emissions that we would generate each year. That is the equivalent of what over 25 households consume in electricity yearly.
Phase 2, expected to be complete by the second quarter of 2010 involves the replacement of over 80 inefficient high-bay lights with energy-star T-5HO fixtures and occupancy sensor technology. The new lighting, combined with the savings already realized from our more efficient compressor system will substantially reduce our dependence on coal-generated electricity sources, while providing a cleaner environment for our neighbors in the surrounding communities.

Well, he did it!!  New Buffalo's Omar Viera crushed the standing record of t-shirts printed by a single operator today at the Imprinted Sportswear Show in Fort Worth, Texas!
Working with M&R's Challenger III, Omar printed 1,935 T-shirts in 60 minutes.  He misprinted just 26 to set the world's record at 1,909 first-quality shirts!  He broke the standing record of 1,805 set in 2005 by another NBSF employee, his sister-in-law Maddy Sikorski.
Omar produced 159 dozen plus one, perfect prints which gives him family bragging rights and proves once again that New Buffalo Shirt Factory is the fastest screen printer in the world.
We'd like to thank M&R for the opportunity to be a part of screen printing history.
Way to represent Omar!
