Cobham Antenna Systems is going green. The local manufacturer of radar and communication system components for ships, submarines and aircraft took several eco-friendly initiatives when it recently expanded its manufacturing facility at 11 Continental Dr.
The green effort, which included the addition of more energy efficient windows, fixtures, lighting, air compressors and HVAC systems, is expected to result an estimated $840,000 over the lifetime of its new equipment and slash the amount of carbon dioxide the company produces by 7,404 tons.
Gov. Maggie Hassan toured the new 105,000-square-foot addition on Friday and presented a commendation recognizing the company for its energy efficiency achievements.
Cobham, which employs 400 workers in two facilities, worked on its green initiatives with Unitil, a Hampton-based power and natural gas provider. "Cobham is committed to reducing energy consumption to support a position of sustainability which is quite simply the right thing to do for the environment," said General Manager Steve Bouchard.
