The Green Apple Awards
Our numerous cabling solutions – including our PowerWise® PoE – were integral in revitalizing The Sinclair, a 1930s-era historic Art Deco landmark in Fort Worth, Texas, and turning it into an unprecedented Sustainable Intelligent Building. The luxury Marriott Autograph Hotel that now occupies the renovated building enjoys immense energy efficiency, savings on both construction time and cost and an unrivaled hospitality experience – all run on DC power, as detailed in our case study.

Five years in the making, the 430,000 sq. ft. Museum of the Bible was originally constructed in 1922 as a refrigerated warehouse. But after installing more than 735,000 ft. (that’s over 140 MILES!) of 6 different types of Superior Essex cable to deliver high-quality, reliable solutions for voice, data, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and complex A/V applications – and connect over 2,200 devices throughout this massively renovated built environment – it’s now a technological spectacle that will captivate generations for decades to come.

In “Our Journey to True Zero Waste,” one of our biggest sustainability goals – and greatest accomplishments as a company – was our attainment of third-party verified Zero Waste to Landfill certification. After a decade of improving the sustainability of our manufacturing practices, our plant in Hoisington, Kansas, proudly achieved this rigorous designation in 2014 – and has maintained it every year since. Here’s why this matters: We are the first company in our industry – and one of only a handful across the entire United States – to earn true Zero Waste certification, and fewer still are able to maintain it consecutively for years.
