Turtle Top- "Ahead of the Curve"
As the Government continues to tighten environmental law, the strain on facilities to become more GREEN is a constant concern. Turtle Top recognized that need and moved forward of the law with the opening of our million dollar paint facility in 2009. Partnering with World leaders Akzo Nobel and C&D Supply, Turtle Top became the first commercial manufacturer in the nation to offer water based Sikken AutoWave technology. The new facility features state of the art paint technology and now has the products to match. Months ahead of schedule all Turtle Top products are painted with low VOC paints and also use specialized equipment to paint and dry water-based AutoWave. The facilities here at Turtle Top have become a model for other paint facilities to follow. Like you would expect from Turtle Top the vehicle you sell your customers is not only the safest, best built bus on the highway, but the GREENEST.

We at Independent Protection/Turtle Top feel it is our responsibility to do what is in our power to help control waste that can potentially harm our Environment.

To accomplish these goals we have established relationships with industry professionals that aid us in compliance with the Federal and State Departments of Energy, Water and Soil Preservation. We have on staff a compliance specialist responsible for reporting and educating our staff and our associates to ensure our Green advancement. Executives from our companies serve on committees and associations designed to advance technology and educate others on the importance of preservation. In every area of our facilities we have evaluated and set goals for recycling everything from office and personal goods to large quantity production materials. Our company is proud to be proactive on items that may need our attention or that require eventual compliance or action.
