Financing from a CUSO of MAX, Your Community Credit Union, played a part in helping a Tennessee wire manufacturing plant to earn an energy project of the year honor.
The Center for Energy Efficiency at Middle Tennessee State University granted its 2010 award energy award to Fushi Copperweld's wire manufacturing plant in Lincoln County, Tenn. The 35-year old, 298,000 square-foot facility had been using original lighting that burned at nearly 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and required both a warm-up and a cool-down time of about 20 minutes.
