Eco-Friendly Manufacturing Practices That Support Your Values and Specs
As environmental standards evolve, OEMs are under pressure to meet stricter sustainability requirements without compromising performance or compliance. At VTI, we build eco-conscious practices directly into our shielding and gasketing services so you can deliver responsible, reliable products — with less complexity.
Energy-Efficient Operations
We continually optimize our processes to reduce waste and lower energy usage across our facility. From efficient metallization cycles to tightly controlled robotic gasket dispensing, we prioritize lean, energy-conscious production. When possible, we batch work to minimize energy draw and eliminate unnecessary runs.
Safer Materials and Cleaner Chemistry
We don’t use ozone-depleting substances in any of our coating or gasketing processes. Our Form-In-Place gasket options include VOC-free and low-VOC materials to support safer indoor manufacturing environments and downstream regulatory compliance.
Many of our clients in the medical and aerospace industries rely on our cleaner chemistries to meet internal and external safety protocols.
ROHS & REACH Compliant Materials
All of our coating materials and gasket formulations are reviewed for compliance with ROHS and REACH regulations. We can provide supporting documentation upon request and have extensive experience working with OEMs who must meet EU and global environmental standards.
Whether you’re preparing for an audit or completing a vendor qualification package, we’re ready to support your compliance and ESG initiatives.
Minimizing Waste Through Smarter Manufacturing
VTI actively recycles internal materials and reuses tooling and fixtures whenever possible. Our in-house masking capabilities reduce material waste, and our process controls ensure that materials are applied efficiently and accurately, minimizing overuse and excess.
Solvents and other supporting compounds are handled with safety and environmental responsibility in mind. We keep waste to a minimum, and disposal follows all applicable regulations.
Helping You Stay Ahead of Sustainability Requirements
Many clients today are being asked to include sustainability data in their proposals and vendor documentation. We make it easy for you to respond with confidence.
From certs to material data sheets to internal process summaries, we support ESG reporting, procurement compliance, and responsible sourcing initiatives that protect your business and reputation.
