NELCO Receives Recognition for Excellence in Green Building

BOSTON, MA – NELCO, a leader in designing, manufacturing, and installing specialized products and services for the medical, industrial, and construction fields, has recently been recognized by the Building Network of America and Construction Communications for excellence in green building.  NELCO was nominated by Harbison-Mahony-Higgins Builders, a general contractor who has been working with NELCO on two medical facilities in California. 

NELCO president and CEO, Rick LeBlanc, was honored for NELCO to receive the award.  “We have always strived to work towards a more environmentally friendly way of manufacturing and installing all of our products.  We are extremely grateful to have been recognized for our efforts, and will continue to advance as the trends in green building develop.”

Since the company’s start in the 1930’s, NELCO has always seen the advantage of using recycled materials for its products.  Seventy-five years later, NELCO has grown to use over fifty percent post-consumer recycled materials in many of its lead and steel products.  The organization has also become nationwide, and with several facilities around the country, allows for the use of indigenous resources, therefore reducing the environmental impact of shipping.  This, along with a commitment to using adhesives and sealants with low VOC levels, allows most NELCO products eligible for up to four LEED points.  

 NELCO, an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, is an industry leader in the design, manufacturing, and installation of specialized products and services, for the medical, industrial, and construction fields.    

Such products include shielding for medical radiation therapy, medical diagnostic imaging, anti-corrosive linings, and industrial radiation shielding.  With offices around the country, NELCO always has a facility nearby, cutting shipping costs, and helping excel in customer service.  For more information, visit http://www.nelco-usa.com, or call 1-800-NELCO-13.
