Our Commitment to the Future

All or most of our architectural products are made from stainless steel and/or aluminum, both of which are among the most-recycled materials. Most of our products contain pre-consumer reclaimed content (LEED® points), and, upon disposal, the materials can be recycled at metal reclamation sites. 

Examples of Feeney products containing reclaimed content:
Product Pre-consumer recycled content Post-consumer recycled content
DeisgnRail® & Feeney Trellis aluminum extrusions 50%
Turnbuckles, End Fittings & Threaded Terminals 25% 75%
1/8” Quick-Connect® Fittings 45% 55%
3/16” & 1/4” Quick-Connect® Fittings 50% 50%
Stainless Steel Nut Washers 40% 60%
Stainless Steel Decorative End Caps and Beveled Washers 35% 65%
CableRail Components and Architectural Rods 96.7%

Long Use Cycles

Our products are durable and have long use cycles, which reduces replacement costs and maximizes material usage efficiency.

Durability

Our aluminum products are strong, yet lightweight, using less raw material and allowing easier handling and lower shipping costs.

Energy Efficient

Our Feeney Trellis kits, as well as CableRail cable assemblies, can be used to create energy-saving trellis and landscape shading panels and partitions that support cooling foliage in the summer, yet allow maximum sunlight and warmth during the dormant winter months.

Solar Facility

On January 19, 2011, our manufacturing facility in Oakland, California, switched on a new 380 panel (over 5,000 square foot) photovoltaic solar array that can produce as much as 90 kilowatts direct current (DC) of clean, sun-generated electricity. It’s enough “juice” to potentially offset the facility’s entire energy needs.

Fully Automated

Our Oakland plant utilizes a fully automated, computerized machining center programmed to continue running and producing high-precision parts after hours during non-peak electric usage periods and without the need of lighting or technicians.

Little Waste

The powder-coating facility we use in Tekamah, Nebraska, features a new, state-of-the-art powder-coating line that emits no V.O.C.s or heavy metal waste, uses a non-chromium pre-treatment wash, and reclaims 93% of the wastewater via a reverse-osmosis membrane filtration system.

Recycling

We have an ongoing company recycling program that includes paper, cardboard, cans, bottles and all residual metal machining shavings.

Green Shipping

Our outgoing shipments use heavy duty cardboard boxes that can be reused or recycled, and our packing peanuts are made from biodegradable, non-toxic cornstarch that quickly dissolves in water and can be reused or composed. They are even FDA approved.
