Since our beginning, our focus has been on product quality. It must work for you, be easily installed and maintained, dependable, valued engineered, and formulated for maximum life cost.

Experience has taught us that a focus on product quality requires other commitments as well, because quality is not something that can be achieved in part. You believe in it or you don’t: it must be everywhere or it won’t be anywhere. In our industry, certain links are obvious – between quality of product, customer service, safety in the workplace, and the lives of each employee. If you miss any one piece, you’ll probably miss it all.

And now, facing a new millennium, another link is added – quality of life on Earth – and the approach becomes more complex!

Although we have managed to build products that meet our standards of quality and also have less environmental impact – recycled vinyl for gaskets, recycled polyethylene for facing sheets, “drop off” for skids/packaging, and New-Cell™ core material, for example – it’s not easy to make such vast improvements across the board. The technologies required to manufacture our products often come with an impact on the environment.

We struggle every day with how to provide quality products that our customers and we expect and what is required to preserve quality of life on Earth.

The answers are not simple, for us as a company or for you as a customer. There exists a direct connection between the manufacturing of products and the environmental woes affecting our correlation. We are aware of our world’s environmental status, yet we also have a commitment to manufacture the best quality products we possibly can. Newcourt has deliberately chosen a dual-focus: we will reduce our impact on the Earth – but continue to manufacture the best products. Sounds simple, but the challenge involves countless trade-offs that our customers should understand. Our adhesives, coatings, sealants, and gaskets are engineered to be safe for the environment and contain no CFC’s or Class 1 Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS). Our raw material usage does not require reports under Sara Title III – better known as “The Community’s Right to Know Act of 1987.”

Our goal is that this dual-focus of merging environmental preservation and high quality standards will give our customers greater confidence and assurance when they consider environment values in their marketplace and finished product. They will know hat a “green” purchase form Newcourt will be a sound, practical investment.
