NM Senator Tours Prudential/Albuquerque

Posted February 26, 2014 at 7:48 pm

Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) recently visited the Prudential Overall Supply facility in Albuquerque, NM.

TRSA coordinated the Feb. 20 visit with Jeff Nelson and Zach Guilds of Prudential. TRSA previously has worked with the senator in Washington, DC, both as a House member and now in his current post since his election to the Senate in 2012.

The Prudential plant is certified with TRSA’s Clean Green program for environmental sustainability, as well as OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). The latter program is the highest recognition given to private companies by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for excellence in safety. Since they operate in the arid Southwest, where water conservation is a particular concern, Prudential also has an impressive wastewater treatment system. Staff at Prudential/Albuquerque pride themselves on improving their environmental conservation efforts wherever possible.

Sen. Heinrich toured the facility along with several Prudential employees and customers. During the walk-through, he learned about the laundry process from soil to packout. He also learned about the plant’s current product mix, its commitment to corporate citizenship how the plant was converted from a clean room to a commercial laundry. As a sign of appreciation, Prudential made the senator a personalized uniform shirt.  

Sen. Heinrich’s tour of the Prudential plant is another great example of the productive relationships that TRSA cultivates with members of Congress on behalf of the industry.
