Facilities and Operations

Bendix’s commitment to sustainability is not limited to its environmental strategy.

The building features a rooftop garden, rainwater harvesting system, and energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems.

A rooftop garden provides a habitat for local wildlife and helps to purify the air.

Rainwater harvesting systems collect and store rainwater for non-potable uses, reducing the demand on municipal water supplies.

Energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems minimize energy consumption and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Ohio EPA recognized Bendix’s environmental accomplishments, including: LEED Silver-Certified Headquarters in Avon.

Avon is located in the Greater New York City area, within the Hudson River watershed. The company’s manufacturing processes and operations involve the use of chemicals and materials that can potentially harm the environment. Avon’s manufacturing processes are subject to rigorous testing and monitoring to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Bendix, a leading manufacturer of industrial air and gas handling systems, has been recognized for its commitment to environmental sustainability and innovation.
