A Message from the Partners

A successful family-owned company, Schaeffler’s

thinking and actions have a long-term orienta tion

and thus focus on durable success taking all aspects

of global activities into account.

Schaeffler has set long-term ambitious goals with

regard to innovative power, product quality, process

quality and delivery reliability as well as a growth

trend that secures large investments for successful

innovations. At the same time, we have traditionally

placed great emphasis on combining economic suc-

cess with responsible actions for our customers as

well as the environment and our employees.

Georg F. W. Schaeffler | Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann

Worldwide compliance with the code of conduct for

responsible and fair business and company manage-

ment are part of our company principles and goals,

as are environmental protection and occupational

safety.

Schaeffler incorporates environmental pro tection

in all processes: from development to purchasing

to manufacturing to disposal. Energy, water and

materials are used sparingly and carefully. Waste is

avoided by returning materials to the production

cycle whenever possible or by recycling them.

Ladies and Gentleman,

with its INA, LuK and FAG brands, Schaeffler is a global technology leader in the automotive supplier

industry for all renowned manufacturers as well as for customers from many other industrial sectors.

3 | Foreword

An essential tradition of our family-owned company

is to place great importance on the responsibility we

have for our employees, who guarantee the success

of our company. Global compliance with high stan-

dards as well as recurring workstation analyses en-

sure the highest possible level of workplace safety

for all employees. We are convinced that – against

the background of our global responsibility –

working, integrated environmental protection and

occupational safety management represents an im-

portant contribution to our company’s sustainability.

Our responsibility also includes providing innovative

products to handle key problems of the future as

well as developing and offering solutions that help

reduce pollutant emissions in automobiles and incre-

ase the energy efficiency of vehicles and machines.

This report on environmental protection and occu-

pational safety documents the fact that Schaeffler

successfully combines efficiency and environmental

compatibility with the integration of social factors

both inside and outside of the company.

Foreword by the CEO

We believe that there is only one environment and that this environment is global ...

Schaeffler unites its three great well-known brands

INA, FAG and LuK under one roof.

With more than 82,000 employees at over 180 loca-

tions worldwide we manufacture components and

systems for the automotive industry and sixty other

industrial sectors.

Our commitment to active environmental protection

and occupational safety has been firmly established

in our company’s management principles from the

very beginning. One of the first of these principles

states, “Exemplary actions based on clearly defined

ethical values determine our success.” It goes on

to say: “We assume responsibility for our environ-

ment.“ Meeting this requirement means recognizing

risks, analyzing and evaluating facts and making

the right decisions for a particular situation. We

established a group-wide environmental protection

and occupational safety policy years ago to serve

as guidelines for our actions. These guidelines are

evaluated regularly and basic ideas are adjusted to

match ever changing requirements.

What is special about our environmental protec-

tion and occupational safety management system

compared to many other companies is its worldwide

implementation at the same high standard.

We do not make a distinction between our plants in

Germany, other countries in Europe, the United

States, Asia or other manufacturing sites. We be-

lieve that there is only one environment and that

this environment is global and worth protecting

everywhere. The same applies when it comes to

evaluating our employees’ workplace environment.

Here, we make no compromises in maintaining

high standards, true to our conviction that safety

must have top priority – worldwide. We began more

than ten years ago to validate all plants to EMAS

environmental protection regulations and to have

them certified to ISO 14001. In 2010, we reached

this ambitious goal for all of our 80 production sites

worldwide.

Our commitment to environmental protection has

gained recognition by our customers as well as

political leaders. We have received the Ford Motor

Company’s World Award for Environmental Leader-

ship Worldwide multiple times. Receiving the

Environmental Medal of the State of Bavaria, The

European EMAS Award as well as the EcoGlobe in

2010 and 2011 serve as both a confirmation for our

policy and a motivation to continue on our course.

Our Brands

INA

Founded in 1946 by brothers and Ph.D. holders

Wilhelm Schaeffler and Georg Schaeffler in Herzo-

genaurach, this brand has become a global player

as a rolling bearing manufacturer and automotive

supplier. The INA brand primarily includes rolling

bearings, linear systems and engine components.

The success of this company with headquarters in

Herzogenaurach began in 1949 when Georg Schaeff-

ler developed the needle roller and cage assembly

– an ingenious invention that helped needle roller

bearings achieve their international breakthrough.

In 1952, an INA-made needle roller bearing replaced

the previously used plain bearings in VW Beetle

transmissions and represented the beginning of an

“automotive career.” Today, there are hardly any

passenger cars without INA engine and transmissi-

on components. Cam phasers and hydraulic bucket

tappets ensure higher performance, reduced con-

sumption, fewer emissions and more driving comfort

in modern engines.

The high quality and reliability of its rolling bea-

rings, engine components and linear technology

products have made Schaeffler a sought-after and

reliable partner for numerous industrial customers.

The Schaeffler Headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany


FAG

The FAG brand and the rolling bearing industry are

inseparably linked. In 1883 Friedrich Fischer desig-

ned a ball mill in Schweinfurt that allowed him for

the first time to produce high-precision steel balls

in large quantities by machine. This invention is

generally considered the historical beginning of the

rolling bearing industry, which started its triumphant

road to success in Schweinfurt. Ever since, FAG (Fi-

scher Aktiengesellschaft) rolling bearings – a registe-

red trademark since 1905 – have been synonymous

with firstclass products and expertise.

Since its acquisition by INA-Holding Schaeffler KG in

2001, FAG has been an important part of the Scha-

effler Group. Whether it is high-precision bearings

for aviation and aerospace, sensor wheel bearings

in passenger cars or large bearings with an outside

diameter of more than four meters for wind turbines,

FAG products are the first choice for all aviation and

aerospace, manufacturing and automotive custo-

mers. FAG’s range of products and services is the

perfect complement for the INA brand.

LuK

In the Schaeffler Group, LuK is the company that

focuses exclusively on the automotive industry. LuK

was cofounded by the Schaeffler brothers in Bühl in

1965 and immediately took the technological lead

in the market with its first innovative product, a

diaphragm spring clutch. The LuK Group has been

fully owned by Schaeffler since 1999. A number of

groundbreaking products followed, such as the self-

adjusting clutch for dualmass flywheels and the dry

dual clutch. Innovation and technological leadership

are important company pillars. Today, one out of

four cars world-wide has a LuK clutch.

LuK works closely with its customers to find solu-

tions for tomorrow’s automotive world. Examples

include dual clutch transmissions and components

for continuously variable transmissions, products

that provide added safety and comfort and fewer

emissions.The FAG Headquarters in Schweinfurt, Germany

Code of Conduct for Responsible Company Management

Schaeffler is continuing the social responsibility of

all of its companies and regards this as an essential

requirement for continued corporate success. The

Schaeffler Code of Conduct is based on the princip-

les of the “Global Compact”, “The Global Sullivan

Principles of Corporate Social Responsibility” and

the standards of “Social Accountability Internatio-

nal”. The basic principles described here constitute

a minimum standard for us and do not affect coun-

tryspecific additions that are based on the relevant

cultural circumstances.

Human Rights

We undertake to observe the internationally proclai-

med human rights in our sphere of influence.

Forced Labor

We will not engage in or associate ourselves with

any form of forced labor.

Child Labor

We will not engage in or associate ourselves with

child labor in our operations.

Discrimination and Respect of Others

We mean to provide a workplace free of discrimina-

tion and harassment on the basis of gender, race,

skin color, religious beliefs, age, national origin,

handicap, or sexual orientation. Employees deserve

each other’s respect.

Compensation and Working Hours

We recognize workers’ needs for adequate remune-

ration and observe the legally guaranteed minimum

wages in the respective labor market. We observe

the rules that apply to working hours in all of our

We mean to provide a safe and healthy working

environment that meets or exceeds applicable

standards for occupational health and safety. We

will take steps to prevent injuries and occupational

illnesses caused by workplace conditions.

Workforce Development

We see the development of our employees as an

essential investment in the future of our company.

We also value the development of social and

technical expertise.


Environmental Responsibility

We maintain an environmental management system

at all production sites worldwide and continuously

improve on this system. The minimum requirement

is that local environmental protection laws and the

specifications of the Schaeffler Group’s environmen-

tal protection system be observed. We collaborate

with our business partners and suppliers in meeting

our environmental responsibilities.

Conflict of Interests, Gifts and Attempted Bribery

We will not accept gifts or payments or hold (com-

pany) investments which could lead to a conflict of

interests. In particular, neither bribes nor any other

illegal payments may be offered, made or accepted.

Suppliers

We encourage, where practicable, our suppliers to

introduce and implement similar principles of social

responsibility within their companies.

Responsibility

We believe each of our employees has an individual

responsibility to follow this Code of Conduct and

encourage coworkers to abide by it as well. Ma-

nagement is responsible for enforcing principles that

become part of our rules or policies.


Global Environmental ProtectionOver the past decade, Schaeffler has successively

established an environmental management system

that we can be proud of. All manufacturing sites

have been certified to ISO 14001 and also to the

more stringent European Eco-Management and Audit

Scheme (EMAS).

The Group’s non-European locations, e.g. in the

United States, Brazil, China, India and Korea, have

also successfully passed inspection based on EMAS.

The certificates and environmental statements as

well as the Schaeffler environmental policy are

available on the Internet.

With the validation and certification of its manufac-

turing sites, Schaeffler has been leading the way in

environmental protection. The company has received

several awards for this commitment, including the

Bavarian Environmental Medal and has been awar-

ded Ford Motor Company’s “Recognition of Achieve-

ment, Environmental Leadership“ award three times.

Schaeffler’s commitment to environmental protection

was recognized on a global scale when the company

was presented with the EMAS Award in 2005.

All of Schaeffler’s manufacturing sites have an envi-

ronmental protection coordinator. At each location,

the plant manager is responsible for ensuring envi-

ronmental compliance.

The “Competence Center for Safety and Environ-

mental Protection” and its competence groups both

plan and coordinate the strategic orientation of the

management system and provide support on envi-

ronmental protection issues to all Schaeffler Group

locations worldwide.

Schaeffler Environmental Protection and Occupational Safety Policy

Occupational safety and environmental protection

are part of our management principles. We create

and maintain a safe working environment that pro-

motes the health and performance of our employees

and embrace environmental responsibility to secure

our company’s continued existence and success.

The following principles apply to all Group locations

worldwide. We are firmly committed to our emplo-

yees, to society and to future generations.

Efficient Occupational Safety and

Environmental Management

We embrace and continuously improve our occupa-

tional safety and environmental protection system.

We develop forward-looking strategies and work

with our business partners to implement these

strategies. We perform regular checks to determine

how well our specifications have been implemented

and how successful our management system is in all

divisions.

A Safe and Employee-Friendly Workplace

We believe that all work-related injuries and illnes-

ses can be prevented. Highly motivated employees

and executives support our efforts to provide a zero-

accident workplace. We give equal consideration to

the protection of our employees and contractors.

That is why we base the design of new workstations

and work processes on the latest scientific findings

and place great importance on the ergonomic design

of workstations.

Reliable Actions

We are committed to complying with all legis lation

and specifications regarding occupational safety

and environmental protection. We act responsib-

ly in accordance with our own regulations, which

often go above and beyond applicable laws. We

plan, purchase, operate and maintain our machines

and facilities using a strategy that helps prevent

potential hazards and minimize risks and business

disruptions. Our actions and decisions are based on

state-of-the-art technology.

Minimal Environmental Impact and

Environmentally Friendly Products

We take every effort to prevent environmental im-

pacts in all of our activities. This includes our efforts

to generate as little waste, wastewater, noise and

other emissions as possible. We use resources and

energy sparingly. We produce environmentally friend-

ly products by taking into consideration a product’s

entire lifecycle.

Responsible Employees

We regularly provide information and training to our

employees and business partners to ensure they

have the skills and expertise necessary to carry out

their work safely and to minimize envi-ronmental

impacts in all company departments.

Preventive Measures

We take comprehensive measures to protect our

employees from health hazards and prevent damage

to the environment. Comprehensive and effective

emergency measures are in place at all locations

to ensure that our employees and visitors receive

adequate care in the event of injury.

Open Communication

We conduct an intensive and trusted dialog with

interested parties. We provide information about our

occupational safety and environmental protection

measures as well as the impact each of our loca-

tions has on the environment.

President and CEO Schaeffler AG

Klaus Rosenfeld

13 | Global Environmental Protection

Environmental Communication

The company’s intranet provides comprehensive

information: contact persons, databases, a waste

guide and much more. This information is made

available to all employees worldwide.

Company newsletters and notices are also used to

inform employees.

Regular Conferences

Environmental protection conferences held every

year allow participants to exchange information and

coordinate goals and actions. These conferences last

several days and are attended by the environmen-

tal protection coordinators from all locations. Since

environmental protection conferences were first

introduced, cooperation and coordination (e. g. for

planning environmentally relevant facilities) between

all locations have improved tremendously.

Global Regulations: Plant Standards

and Procedures

All actions relevant for the environment, such as the

approval of indirect materials or the specification

of substances prohibited for use in products and

packaging, are regulated globally by special plant

standards. In this way, Schaeffler ensures that hazar-

dous materials are used only if there are no other

alternatives.

The relevant departments are informed in a timely

manner about the use of such materials, and the

required action is taken. This means that our

customers can be sure that products supplied by

Schaeffler contain only approved materials.

Safety rules and regulations also apply to con-

tractors working in Schaeffler plants. A document

detailing all safety-related requirements has been

prepared for contractors working on the plant

premises. Contractors may not enter the premises

to perform their work unless they have agreed in

writing to comply with these requirements.

Regular Internal and External Audits

The level and progress of the company’s

environmental protection are also monitored by

regular internal audits at all manufacturing sites as

well as external audits by an independent environ-

mental verifier. These audits are planned and coor-

dinated at company headquarters and carried out by

the Schaeffler auditor pool.

All locations receive an audit report that includes

details of the current status and recommendations

for improvement.

Due dates and responsibilities are defined for all

relevant measures.

Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann receives

2011 EcoGlobe Person of the Year Award

The EcoGlobe Institute of the University of Duisberg-

Essen has awarded the 2011 EcoGlobe Person of the

Year Award to Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann.

The prize was awarded in honor of Mrs. Schaeffler’s

entrepreneurial achievements and cultural and social

commitment as a company partner, Vice Chairperson

of the Schaeffler AG Supervisory Board as well as a

member of the Supervisory Board at Continental AG.

“Her keen sense of what is good for the company’s

employees and with great selfdiscipline, has allo-

wed Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann to build a

business that has a highly remarkable cor-porate

culture and great economic success,“ the selection

committee said in its statement. The strategic prin-

ciples to which Maria-Elisabeth Schaeffler-Thumann

has oriented the company are characterized by high

social, environmental and quality standards. She

Environmentally Friendly Products

Environmental pollution and the depletion of re-

sources can largely be attributed to the increased

consumption of products. We must change our way

of thinking and insist on environmentally friendly

products that use fewer resources and minimize the

strain on the environment. Our “Integrated Product

Policy (IPP)” addresses this idea and aims to promo-

te environmentally friendly products.

Schaeffler – Always One Step Ahead

This isn’t a new idea for Schaeffler; we have embra-

ced this idea for many years. We accepted the chal-

lenge to design environmentally friendly products

a long time ago. What is new is the methods and

tools used to achieve this goal. How can we utilize

previously untapped potential to improve the ecoba-

lance of a product over its entire lifecycle?

New Inroads

One way to make environmentally friendly products

is to increase the efficiency of the material and ener-

gy used, thus reducing environmental impacts. We

continuously evaluate and design all material and

energy flows, from the time they enter the compa-

ny to the time they leave as products or residual

materials.

Comprehensive Data Management

The company’s own environmental data coordinator

handles inputs and outputs of material and energy

flows for all processes and products at the respecti-

ve plant. Material flow analyses help further integ-

rate environmental management into the company’s

corporate units, such as Logistics, Manufacturing

and Financial Controlling. Existing processes and

technologies are ques-tioned thoroughly, and ad-

ditional opportunities for improving processes are

recognized and put into practice.

Information Networks

Environmental impacts occur even when resources

are extracted. To make products even more environ-

mentally friendly, Schaeffler stays in close contact

with its suppliers and customers. A shared network

is used to record and analyze environmental infor-

mation along the entire product chain. The insights

gained allow new solutions to be recognized for

environmentally friendly products and sustainable

development.

Recycling

We try to ensure that manufactured components are

recycled at the end of a vehicle’s service life. This

is why LuK and INA are founding members of the

Partslife recycling system.

Environmentally Friendly Products | 16 Environmentally Friendly Products | 16

Social Responsibility

Environmental experts around the world agree that

the global environmental problems of our time can

only be solved if both economic and social factors

are considered. On the one hand, only economically

healthy companies pursue long-term environmental

protection activities, and from a social standpoint

people who are starving or suffering social injustice

cannot be motivated to become active in protecting

the environment. The “principle of sustainable

development” is based on these assumptions.

In line with the company philosophy of accepting

new challenges, Schaeffler has tackled the concept

of sustainability. Generally, sustainability is not seen

as an additional job to be completed but as an idea

that offers new opportunities since it links problems

that were previously treated separately. A view that

integrates economic, ecological and social issues

allows new solutions to be found and thus contribu-

tes to the sustainability of a company and of society

as a whole.

Although a lot has been said about sustainability

and social responsibility, not a great deal has been

done. The examples below show that things are

different at Schaeffler:

Health as a Social Factor

Preventive occupational health and safety repre-

sents an essential social component at Schaeffler.

We confront this responsibility by implementing

numerous measures and projects. Preventive medical

check-ups, workstation inspections and medical

workplace consultations, reintegration support after

long illnesses and fast medical help in emergenci-

es are only some of the many services our Medical

Services team provides. We also offer a wide range

of company sports groups.

Apprenticeships and Professional Training for Future

Needs

With around 3,000 apprentices worldwide and high-

quality vocational training, Schaeffler has a role

model function. Schaeffler employees can make use

of a comprehensive range of continuing professional

training courses to keep their skill sets up to date

or for their personal development.

Retirees are Still Part of It All

Even after our employees retire, they have a number

of opportunities to stay in touch with their company.

Social security, justice and consideration, training

and company pension plans aren’t just empty

phrases. The Group does its part to benefit society,

putting it on the right track in its efforts to achieve

sustainability.

Social security, justice and consideration, health

protection, educational opportunities and company

pension schemes are not just hollow phrases at

Schaeffler. Our company expresses its solidarity with

society, putting us on the right track to sustainability.

Changes at the Location

Energy Savings

Incandescent bulbs are being replaced with LED

bulbs on equipment. Not only are LEDs a more

efficient lamp but they are also RoHS compliant.

Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced as well due to

lower energy consumption. The lighting output gives

the same lumens with fewer watts and is currently

the preferred lighting.

Upgrade to Electrical Distribution

Removed the bus bar from various production

departments and replaced with electrical panel ser-

vices. The Heading department had newly installed

electrical panels with 480 volt and 120 volt service.

Other production areas were upgraded to 220/240

volt service.

Phase 1 of Nital Etch Renovation

The Nital Etch room was completely renovated

including ceiling, lighting, floors and walls. The elec-

trical panels were removed for safety reasons and

relocated to the exterior of the room. The ventilati-

on system was upgraded to provided improved air

quality for the area.

Sprinkler System Upgrade

New sprinkler heads were installed in the Shipping

Department and the outside storage area to satisfy

fire protection requirements.

Final Inspection

Improvements were made to the entry ways of the

Quality Assurance department to maintain the envi-

ronment. A new temperature and humidity control

system was also installed in the area to protect the

product.

Permits and Requirements

The Barden Corporation conducts periodic checks of

the legal requirements to ensure requirements are

being met.

Water

Winsted Precision Ball has been issued a General

Permit for the Miscellaneous Discharge to city sewer

by the State of Connecticut. The site is permitted by

the State for the discharge of storm water from an

industrial site requiring annual testing and reporting.

Hazardous Waste

The site is classified by the federal government as

a Large Quantity Generator of hazardous waste. The

site is required to comply with the following requi-

rements: track waste using a manifest system and

land disposal restriction documents, proper storage

and labeling of waste and periodic reporting to Sta-

te and Federal agencies.

Hazardous Materials

The site is registered with the United States of Ame-

rica Department of Transportation as an offeror of

hazardous materials for shipment.

Air

All new manufacturing operations are reviewed for

their environmental impacts and where necessary

controls are installed to prevent emissions.

OTHER MATERIALS

21 | Environmental Impacts

Indirect Environmental Impacts

Products and packaging

Winsted technology contributes to energy savings

worldwide for our customers; e.g. Wind energy

generation and turbocharger bearing systems which

reduce emissions and improve fuel economy in die-

sel trucks. Raw materials (steel) purchased to manu-

facture products contains a relatively high (average >

75 %) recycled steel content.

External Transport and Logistics

Raw materials are delivered to Winsted by diesel

freight trucks. Finished parts are distributed in a

similar manner with the exception of those trans-

ported overseas (via sea freight). Winsted minimizes

transportation impacts by maximizing truckload ca-

pacities and scheduling deliveries and transporting

balls via company vehicles between Connecticut

sites.

Employee transportation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Winsted

employee transportation vary depending upon the

length of the commute and type of vehicle driven

by employees. Detailed information and reference to

CO2 figures are located in the Environmental Indica-

tors air emission section. Currently there exists no

regular public transportation to the facility.

Suppliers and Contractors

Winsted suppliers have a variety of environmental

impacts ranging from packaging, chemicals and pro-

cesses they use. The Schaeffler Group has adopted

the company wide norm to eliminate and reduce

certain hazardous substances. Prior to purchasing

chemicals, it is required that suppliers provide

detailed information about their materials and are

encouraged to conform to environmental standards.

New chemicals are thoroughly investigated prior to

their acceptance and allowance on to the site.

Contractors on Winsted property can contribute

to environmental aspects indirectly through spills,

accidents, fires and mishandling of waste. Winsted

Precision Ball has developed a safety and environ-

mental brochure as a tool to assist contractors in

addressing potential impacts. Contractors are trained

on these requirements and are required to certify

they will comply with the rules and policies. To redu-

ce potential off-site impacts from waste handlers,

Winsted uses Certified Waste Disposal Facilities and

Transporters to handle and dispose of wastes, mini-

mizing risk to our company.

Environmental Impacts | 22

Fire protection

Fire-fighting equipment - as required by code the

site has adequate portable hand held fire extingu-

ishers. Manufacturing and office areas are equipped

with water sprinklers systems and smoke detection

units.

Training and exercises – Employees practice evacu-

ation drills annually for all shifts. Training sessions

are conducted annually on fire extinguishers for a

select group of employees.

Risk Management

Plant security

Access control - All employees are issued identifi-

cation/security badges which allow them access to

the building. All visitors and contractors are issued

badges depending on their type of business and

areas of access. Both visitors and contractors sign

in and out each day and are briefed on the security

rules by their Company contact.

Contractors management

Checkup - The Company contact reviews and com-

pletes a checklist with the contractor; this includes

the review of any hazards and the proper measures

to be taken.

Emergency plans and management

The site has an extensive Emergency Plan which in-

cludes: plant evacuation procedures, fires, chemical

spills, medical emergencies, bomb threats, security

measures and power interruption. These are periodi-

cally reviewed by the Environmental Health & Safety

Coordinator in conjunction with other key personnel.

Training on certain regulatory topics are conducted

annually.

23 | Health and Safety

The Health and Safety Program at Winsted defines

the measures and time periods taken to reach the

specific health and safety objectives and targets. It

also defines which function and organizational unit

is responsible for implementation of each measu-

re and which means are to be made available. In

addition, programs are developed periodically such

as ergonomics, electrical safety and safe chemical

handling.

Every year the Medical Department at Barden

Danbury offers Influenza Vaccinations to the

employees and their spouses at Winsted Precision

Ball. Schaeffler Group also offers Bio-Metric scree-

ning to all employees and their spouse annually.

Ergonomics

An individual ergonomic assessment is conduc-

ted proactively during work area rearrangement;

however after an injury or incident is reported the

EHS Coordinator and others assess the ergonomic

situation. The EHS Coordinator from Danbury is trai-

ned and is able to conduct the initial assessment.

Employees are encouraged to evaluate their own

workspace and make suggestions to improve them.

Health and Safety

Health and Safety | 24

Winsted contributes to community food banks perio-

dically. Employees bring in non-perishable goods to

the collection point for distribution throughout the

community.

The Company provides various events for the em-

ployees and their families. These include a summer

cook out, Christmas dinner and Christmas with Santa

celebration.

Key Indicator | 28

Water in gallons

The increase in the water usage was due to a new

meter being installed in 2011 and meter being read

by municipality incorrectly. Winsted Precision Ball

is supplied by two sources Crystal Lake and Rugg

Brook. The water is pretreated and distributed at the

Crystal Lake water treatment plant. Regular sche-

duled sampling/testing is conducted to ensure the

water quality at the treatment plant.

Input

Electricity in kWh and information

on installed capacity

The increase in electricity was due to production

demands at the facility.

Natural Gas

The natural gas usage is reflective of Winsted’s heat

treating process. Winsted only heat treats 52000

steel material in house, the other steels are sourced

outside the company. The variations are inline with

our 52100 produced for those years.
