About this listen
In this episode of MadeInSWVA, we feature Real Performance Machinery (RPM) of Independence, Virginia — winner of the 2025 Environmental Excellence Award.
We speak with Craig Hensdell, Operations Manager at RPM, about how the company has made sustainability a core part of its manufacturing strategy. From reclaiming coolant and reducing offcuts to employee-led initiatives and local sourcing, RPM is setting a new standard for what environmental leadership can look like in metal fabrication.
Learn how this mid-sized manufacturer is proving that doing the right thing for the planet is also smart business — and why their culture of continuous improvement is driving results across the board.
