TVH in the Americas (TVH), a global provider of quality replacement parts and accessories for the material handling and industrial equipment industries, places a high priority on ensuring they are prepared for the business challenges of tomorrow. In 2019, TVH completed the expansion of its warehouse at the headquarters in Olathe, KS. The 250,000 square foot addition allows TVH to provide customers a larger offering of products with more availability.
To ensure this expansion was done in the most environmentally conscious way possible. One of the most impactful energy-saving measures introduced in the building expansion was the installation of solar panels on the roof of our new warehouse space. These solar panels will significantly reduce electricity costs and the impact TVH as a company have on the environment. The projected CO2 emissions reduction in the first year is estimated to be nearly 3,495,000 lbs. Over the next 25 years, the total projected reduction in CO2 emissions is estimated to be over 79,000,000 lbs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions while improving quality of life and environmental standards.
The new warehouse expansion showcases an extensive use of energy-saving measures throughout the interior of the facility as well. These measures include a new LED lighting system, which will consume roughly 75% less energy while lasting significantly longer compared to your traditional, fluorescent lights. Water-conserving fixtures will decrease the prevalence of water waste, lowering TVH’s environmental impact. New energy-saving HVAC controls and equipment will allow for more consistent temperatures at a more efficient, energy-saving rate.
These energy-saving measures help reduce our environmental impact and improve our community. The expansion gives TVH the confidence and capability to grow its product offering and expand its footprint, at the same time ensuring this new warehouse addition benefits its employees, customers, the community, and the environment.
TVH has grown to become one of the most respected names in the material handling and industrial equipment industries. For the past 50 years, our commitment to service, knowledge, and product availability has made TVH the One-Stop-Shop for our customers. We offer more than 42 million products from 16 locations in the Americas and 72 locations globally.
