Sustainable right from the start

From the beginning, Dick Wendt and his four business partners made a conscious effort to put to good use every last bit of raw resource that entered the doors, a philosophy that still stands true today. Zero waste, circularity, and sustainability are embedded in our entire operations. We can’t think of a better way to invest our energy than protecting the spaces that touch our lives – and the planet we all share.
