At the event, John Fitzgerald, Vice President and General Manager of HARMAN's Signal Processing and Amplifier Business Units, will discuss HARMAN's GreenEdge™ program and explain the goals, which included increasing efficiency of all products, reducing weight and implementing a comprehensive exchange program so older product would not end up in landfills. Fitzgerald will also join a panel discussion on energy and sustainability related issues with Indiana Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kevin Brinegar and Vice President of Energy and Environmental Policy Vince Griffin.
HARMAN's Elkhart facility serves as the company's Professional Division headquarters for its amplifier business unit and employs over 200 people in the areas of manufacturing, marketing, programming, sales and management. HARMAN's Crown Amplifier brand has been in Elkhart since the company's founding in 1947.
“Having a deep history in Elkhart, we have a strong appreciation for our connection to the local community and are honored by the opportunity to share our experiences and strengthen our relationship with business leaders both in Elkhart and statewide. Indiana has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing energy consumption among businesses and we understand from our own efforts in this area that in addition to being the responsible choice it also makes a company more competitive and profitable long-term,” stated Fitzgerald.
“The Indiana Chamber truly values the leadership of companies like HARMAN that so generously open up their facilities for the benefit of the local community. We appreciate the willingness of John and his team to share their knowledge and experiences with other area business leaders.
