TRIBUTE TO THE OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE ION EDGE CORPORATION
______
HON. BOB SCHAFFER
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Thursday, October 15, 1998
Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the owners and employees of the Ion Edge Corporation in Ft. Collins, Colorado. Their hard work and dedication earned the Small Business Association's National Tibbetts Award and national recognition for pollution prevention. This company's innovative process virtually eliminates pollution from the process of metal plating.
Traditional methods of plating require dipping in large vats of chromium, cadmium and other metals. Ion Edge, however, developed a zero-waste dry plating process whereby metals are vaporized and sprayed onto aircraft and other parts. Today, the company sells 50,000 plated fasteners for aerospace manufacturing. The Environmental Protection Agency has also granted the company funds for research into a similar process for chrome plating.
By eliminating waste, Ion Edge has developed a process that is both good for business and the environment. I commend Mandar Sunthankar, the company president, and all of the people whom have contributed their time to this sound effort.
