Budderfly, an energy company with energy-as-a-service and the Gilman Brothers Company, a 128-year-old, family business manufacturer of foam board products located in Connecticut, have announced a new 750-KW solar project on the roof. During the 15-year agreement, Budderfly expects to lower the annual energy costs of Gilman Brothers by a maximum of 30%.
The Gilman Brothers Company company has a long history of American production and has a long history of resilience and innovation. The company, which offers signage, display, graphics and wall art solutions to some of the largest retailers in the country, has consistently chosen a future -oriented innovative approach to energy. This dates from the 1920s, when the river that fed the mill on which he trusted for the current dried up. The founder of the company took matters into his own hands and followed a charter to create the Bozrah Light and Power Company, a tool that has served the facility of Gilman Brothers and the surrounding communities for decades.
Nowadays Gilman Brothers faces the challenge of leaving fossil fuel dependence and outdated lighting to a more sustainable, cost -effective clean energy future. The investment of $ 1.5 million from Budderfly gives these 120-employee activities the power to tackle its production activities with solar energy. The full-service model of Budderfly enables Gilman Brothers to implement very efficient upgrades, integrate renewable energy and to retain his inheritance of innovation all while working on ambitious net-zero goals.
“Today’s energy challenges are not the first with which our company is confronted with. Gilman Brothers has long understood the operational and financial benefits of more control over our energy supply and transparency, as well as transparency in how we use it. We also know that managing it is a full-time company,” said Jeff Blanchard. ” “The holistic approach and the financial model of Budderfly is somewhat independent manufacturers such as Gilman Brothers – and are necessary. With Budderfly we can remain focused on our core mission to deliver our customers quality products, while we also trust that our evolving energy needs will be met.”
After this project, Gilman Brothers will benefit from a solar system on the roof, a completely new LED lighting and an ultra-high-efficiency HVAC system, in addition to various other cost-saving technologies such as high-efficient engines combined with variable frequency rives.
“Our collaboration with Gilman Brothers is an exciting, first of its kind for Budderfly in the industrial sector,” said Subbloie, founder and CEO of Budderfly. “Gilman Brothers has a unique legacy as an energy pioneer in Connecticut, with a good understanding of the value of more control over his own energy supply. As the energy needs of Gilman continue to evolve, we are happy to help the company set up innovation and success through his goal of reaching his goal of reaching the reach of achieving his goal of reaching the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the achievement of the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the reach closer by reaching the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the reach of reaching the reach closer. to help.”
Governor of Connecticut Ned Lamont praised the partnership and emphasized its impact on both economic and environmental fronts.
“The Gilman Brothers Company has been operating its production company in Connecticut for more than a century, and I think it is great that they collaborate with one of the newest and most innovative companies in our state, Budderfly, in this project that will not only help reduce their overhead costs, but will also reduce their carbon emissions,” said Governor Lamont. “This is a great partnership and I hope that more companies established in Connecticut will make contact with Budderfly in the coming years to implement similar projects.”
