Sustainability and Parts Reduction

At Sampson Mills, we envision a world where industry drives positive, sustainable change, benefiting both people and the planet. Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and responsible supply chains underpins our global, multi-sectoral Parts Reduction Initiative (PRI) and robust recycling program. These efforts minimize waste, optimize resources, and empower our partners through innovative certification programs, ensuring a minimal environmental footprint.

​

Parts Reduction Initiative (PRI): Engineering Efficiency

Our PRI redefines manufacturing by prioritizing simplicity and sustainability. Initially applied to our curtain track systems, the initiative aimed to reduce components to as close to a single part as possible. This streamlined approach slashed waste and enhanced production efficiency. Building on this success, we expanded PRI across our product portfolio, including sliding panels, baffle systems, and room-dividing systems.

Today, our redesigned product lines—over 40 distinct systems—are assembled using just eight versatile profiles. This revolutionary consolidation allows customers to address diverse applications with minimal inventory, reducing costs and environmental impact. By designing smarter, we empower our clients to operate sustainably while maintaining high-quality performance across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

​

Recycling for a Greener Future

Sustainability extends beyond design. Each month, we collect aluminum offcuts too small for reuse or sampling and deliver them to certified recycling facilities. Aluminum, one of the most recyclable materials, boasts a global recycling rate of approximately 75%, with much of the aluminum ever produced still in use. By recycling all excess material, we significantly reduce waste and lower our carbon footprint, aligning with our CSR goals and contributing to a circular economy.

​

Certification Programs: Leading Industry Change

To amplify our impact, we offer a certification program that educates and empowers industry partners to maximize resource efficiency. Through hands-on training, guidance, and coaching, we equip manufacturers, designers, and specifiers with the tools to implement sustainable practices within their operations. Our program fosters responsible supply chains by promoting minimal waste, efficient resource use, and environmentally conscious decision-making. Certified partners join a network committed to driving positive change.
