Achieving The Copper Mark Certification
We expanded our partnership with The Copper Mark by participating in the Semis-Fabricator Pilot. In June of 2024, three of our North American plants achieved The Copper Mark Assurance Process—Fort Wayne, IN, Franklin, IN and Columbia City, IN. This achievement at our facilities not only ensures our magnet wire products are produced in an ethical and responsible way but it sets a benchmark for the industry and reinforces Essex Furukawa in its position as an ESG leader.
