Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance Recognized as "Clean Corporate Citizen"

Contact:  Robert McCann (517) 241-7397
Agency: Environmental Quality


March 17, 2009

Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance has earned the distinction of becoming the 156th Clean Corporate Citizen (C3) as part of the voluntary environmental program that recognizes environmental stewardship at Michigan's facilities. Global Engine becomes one of more than 50 automotive suppliers in Michigan to receive the C3 designation.

Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance manufactures 4-cylinder engines and is a joint venture of Chrysler, LLC, Hyundai and Mitsubishi and is located in Dundee.

Since 2005, Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance has diligently worked to reduced its per engine production costs through an aggressive pollution prevention program. Over the last year, Global Engine has decreased incinerated waste by 23 percent, energy use by 8 percent, and air emissions by 98 percent from 2006 levels through the near elimination of aerosol can use.

"I congratulate the entire team at Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance for their achievement and dedication to environmental excellence," said Department of Environmental Quality Director Steven Chester. "The facility's firm commitment to preventing pollution and protecting our shared environment has earned them this special recognition."

Bruce Baumbach, Global Engine Maufacturing Alliance's Plant Manager added, "As an organization it is our goal to promote environmental sustainability in the products we manufacture and the community we live, which is why the Clean Corporate Citizen designation is particularly gratifying. Environmental stewardship at GEMA has been and will continue to be one of the pillars of our success. In the future we will continue to strive to be Clean, Green, and Lean."

The C3 designation is made to candidates that adopt facility-specific Environmental Management Systems, have active and on-going pollution prevention initiatives at their facility, and have a consistent record of compliance with state and federal environmental requirements. The C3 Program is open to companies regulated under any of Michigan's environmental statutes, and designations are reviewed and renewed on a regular basis.
