John Sommers Jr., president and CEO, discusses Allied Printing Services' commitment to being more sustainable with the recent completion of a solar installation at his company's Manchester, Connecticut, facility.

Last week, Allied Printing Services held a ceremony to mark the completion of a solar installation at its Manchester, Connecticut, facility. The ceremony was attended by elected officials, legislators, energy and utility officials, partners and employees. The 1.4 megawatt system, which is comprised of 4,591 panels atop Allied’s 275,000-square-foot facility, will provide about 17 percent of the company's total electricity usage.
