Sustainability At a Glance
We work hard to eliminate waste in our company. Scrap glass becomes fresh glass, scrap metal becomes new metal, and wood not suitable for treads, platforms, or handrails is used to create glass crates and skids. As stewards of our environment, it is very important to take only what we need and to use all of what we have to the greatest extent – that’s why all of our products are made to order.
Our Hardware Pull Center (HPC) runs on a Kanban system – an inventory control system created by Taiichi Ohno of Toyota Production. The Kanban system allows employees to track when stock is running low and promptly fill the need without risk of overstocking or building an inventory of less frequently needed parts.
We want to keep your jobsite and our planet clean. In an effort to reduce company waste, we have changed our packaging materials to be completely recyclable. Viewrail is committed to becoming plastic free by 2023. We are well on our way to achieving this goal.
