challenging,” he explained. Throughout its his-
tory, PRM has transformed, adapted and inno-
vated, always looking toward the future. PRM
recently purchased a 13-acre property in But-
ner, North Carolina and transformed a contam-
inated and abandoned factory into a new oper-
ating facility. As an environmentally conscious
company they’re taking the green approach to
remodelling; they've installed motion-sensing
LED lighting throughout the facility and added
close to one thousand solar panels to power
their operations. PRM also initiated a program
where equipment coatings do not use a VOC-
based (volatile organic compound) product,
but rather a water-based high performance
acrylic paint. This new eco-friendly manufac-
turing facility is essential to PRM’s daily opera-
tions and each of these efforts helps to reduce
PRM’s carbon footprint and help them to be
better stewards of the environment.
The future looks bright for PRM and over the
next few years they hope to expand exponen-
tially. PRM is currently working on projects
throughout Canada and the United States and
has completed projects around the globe, re-
cently in Saudi Arabia and China.
“What’s next for PRM? Improving our market
share, becoming a little bit more energy ef-
ficient as a company, a little bit more carbon
neutral, and just doing the right thing,” Phillips
said.
“We like to provide the customer with, number one, a safe product. We take safety very
seriously. In our business, when you’re dealing with landfill gases and remediation of
explosive vapours, safety has to be a primary focus.”
