East Lake Metals Embraces Sustainability with Solar-Powered Facilities Upgrade
Whiting, IN — East Lake Metals, a leading supplier of metal roofing and siding, proudly announces a significant step toward environmental sustainability with the completion of a comprehensive upgrade to its facilities. The company, known for championing the recyclability and longevity of its products, has now incorporated solar power to drive the manufacturing of its aluminum and steel coils, including its innovative steel product, Armored Coast.
The ambitious project involved the installation of a state-of-the-art standing seam roof along with solar panels. As part of the upgrade, outdated windows throughout the building were replaced with modern, energy-efficient ones, allowing natural light to fill the building, further reducing the need for conventional power sources.
This project replaced most of the original metal roof, built in 1939, a testament to the durability and longevity of metal roofs. By integrating solar panels into this new roof and enhancing natural lighting, the company not only prioritizes durability but also embraces sustainable practices, aligning with its commitment to environmental responsibility.
The facility upgrade comes on the heels of various improvements made to the East Lake Metals property in recent years. These enhancements include the removal of outdated manufacturing equipment, landscape improvements, and the optimization of roads and parking areas to facilitate efficient truck loading and unloading operations.
“Our decision to upgrade our facilities to be solar-powered reflects our dedication to sustainable practices,” said Brian Patrick, President of East Lake Metals. “We believe in providing our customers with high-quality, environmentally conscious products. The solar upgrade is a strategic move to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a greener future.”
