BENSALEM, Pa., Sept. 18, 2009 — Accu-Weld (http://www.accuweld.com), a manufacturer of highly energy-efficient replacement windows and doors, today welcomed Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell, Delaware Governor Jack Markell, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, White House Senior Counselor for Manufacturing Policy Ron Bloom and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy Amanda Dory to its plant in Bensalem, PA for a town-hall-style forum on the Energy Economy. With over 140 “Green Collar” jobs and as a supplier of high-performance, affordable windows and doors, Accu-Weld represents America’s manufacturing commitment to participate in President Obama’s push for significant improvement in energy efficiency and the creation of “green collar” jobs. “This event is an opportunity to showcase how Pennsylvania and the nation can help promote manufacturing, build a green economy with green-collar jobs and encourage energy conservation,” said Governor Rendell.
John Haddon, Accu-Weld President, stated: “It is with great pride that we welcome the Governors and White House officials to Accu-Weld today on the topic of the Energy Economy. Our family believes in the opportunity to advance the energy efficiency of windows and doors based on the proven and tested manufacturing techniques developed here over the past 28 years. Accu-Weld represents the growing market with our Green Collar jobs and our highly energy-efficient windows and doors. We’re proud to be recognized for our products, which not only save homeowners money, but are created by American workers and contribute to protecting our environment.” He went on say, “Accu-Weld is actively working with our dealers to supply new and innovative products. We are also participating in discussions with new dealers and looking to expand our customer reach.”
Sam Jadallah, Chairman of Accu-Weld, said, “Energy Efficiency, Acting Green, and American labor are core values to us at Accu-Weld. We are excited about our pipeline of energy-efficient products and market rebound driven by the Stimulus Act. Our windows and doors not only qualify for the Stimulus Tax credit, but are built on proven manufacturing processes in which we’ve supplied windows to over 500,000 homeowners across the country. Without a doubt, the stimulus act got homeowners to replace old windows with new high-performance ones and that new business was critical to our success this year. Simply put, the stimulus act saved jobs in our working town.”
