WALK THE WALK Advertorial WALK THE WALK WALK THE WALK WALK THE WALK WALK THE WALK Hohmann & Barnard, Inc. Hohmann & Barnard, Inc. is known worldwide as a manufacturer of innovative quality anchor and wire reinforcement systems for masonry. For 75 years Hohmann & Barnard, Inc. has been an industry leader and it seemed natural that H&B would once again lead the way to move our company “Green” in a variety of ways. First, many of our products contain large percentages of recycled content including our wire reinforcement and masonry wire ties fabricated from up to 99 percent post-industrial recycled materials. More recently, Hohmann & Barnard has developed a “Green” membrane wall flashing product, and we have also introduced the most environmentally friendly air/vapor barrier products on the market today. With six manufacturing facilities across the country, the 500-mile radius stipulation for green credits is easily satisfied by H&B. Our new 2008 catalog notes all “Green” products with the type and percentage of recycled content. As a USGBC member, the company currently dedicates 50% of its marketing budget toward the advertising and promotion of its green products and green building efforts. Our new H&B Marketing Department facility became the first LEED certified commercial interior office in Lafayette, IN. As you can clearly see Hohmann & Barnard is committed to being “Green” and we don’t just talk the talk, but truly “Walk the Walk.” www.h-b.com OCTOBER 2008 ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN + CONSTRUCTION CD Hullinger, Director of Branding Communications and Tom Walsh, Director of Web Systems worked together to research and direct the process of opening the LEED Commercial Interior Marketing office located in Lafayette, IN. 75 http://www.armstrong.com/flooring http://www.h-b.com
