Building a Safer, Greener Future: Carus Rebuild Project Completion

January 20, 2025

At Carus, safety and sustainability have always been at the core of our values, and our recently completed Rebuild Project, impacting our potassium permanganate production, is the latest demonstration of these commitments. 

Following the fire that occurred on January 11, 2023, which impacted our community, neighbors, warehouse and packaging facilities, we took the opportunity to improve our operations in many ways. With a focus on creating a safer, greener future, we’ve implemented key environmental, health, and safety improvements that will benefit both our team and the community in which we operate. 

Key Improvements for a Safer Future

We are committed to further minimizing environmental impact and safeguarding the well-being of our employees and neighbors. A state-of-the-art fire sprinkler system and fire detection and alarm systems have been installed, designed to provide fast, reliable response in the event of an emergency. 

Furthermore, the internal, concrete walls of the rebuild are 3-hour fire-rated, meaning they are designed to withstand exposure to fire for up to three hours before compromising structural integrity. This added protection helps contain any fire and provides valuable time for evacuation and emergency response efforts. These walls are a critical safety feature, further enhancing the overall security of our new space.

Alongside the safety upgrades to our facilities, we’re proud to introduce significant improvements to our packaging and pallet system, designed to enhance handling safety and efficiency for our employees. These upgrades not only boost productivity but also foster a better working environment by incorporating ergonomic features that prioritize employee comfort and safety.

Our commitment to environmental responsibility has always been a priority. While Carus has always fully complied with environmental regulations, the rebuild allowed the company to go beyond these requirements. A new advanced containment system was implemented to safely manage and recycle water on-site, further reducing environmental footprint and reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability.

Sustainability in Action

Energy efficiency is at the heart of our new facility. Through the installation of new systems that control heating more precisely and reduce potential risks, we are working toward a cleaner, greener future. These upgrades don’t just meet regulatory requirements—they set a new standard for sustainable, safe operations at Carus.

As we move forward, Carus remains dedicated to our community and our customers, continuing to lead with integrity, safety, and sustainability. We are proud of the progress we’ve made and are excited about the future we’re building together.
