3 New Green Projects
We're proud to announce three new sustainability projects across our international operations for 2023.
Green Initiatives
Sustainability is important to MAT Foundry. This is why our facilities hold the ISO 14001 environmental accreditation. We're seeing an enormous push from OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to become carbon neutral by 2040. A growing number are submitting requests for quotations that consider carbon emissions. This has inspired MAT to further reduce our own.
