Emerson’s Appleton Group iron casting facility received a 2025 Energy Excellence Award from Focus on Energy. The award recognizes companies in Wisconsin that go beyond basic energy efficiency solutions within their own organizations and those they support.
The Appleton foundry manufactures electrical fittings, enclosures, and other cast products for electrical infrastructure. It has worked with the Focus on Energy initiative since 2017 to identify, evaluate, and implement energy efficiency and utility cost-savings projects.
The foundry team’s commitment cut the facility’s total energy consumption and emissions by about a third. This drastically reduced emissions and operating expenses. These reductions are especially significant, since the century-old foundry was among the largest energy-consuming facilities across all of Emerson.
