PROUD OF OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In addition to our project accomplishments listed throughout this site, our organization continues to meet significant milestones. Our leadership has played an integral part in the development of the NASF 1000, our industry’s powerful advocacy and government relations program.
Recent regulatory challenges with the EPA over the Chromium Electroplating NESHAP and regulatory challenges for nickel compounds continue to impact our companies.
