en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hendrickson's new solar farm in Crest Hill, Illinois, is now fully operational, using renewable energy for the first time to power its bumper production facility.

The solar installation, adjacent to Hendrickson's bumper manufacturing plant, features over 2,040 solar panels and is expected to generate approximately 1.55 megawatt-hours of electricity annually. According to a company press release, this output is sufficient to meet the entire plant's electricity needs while sending excess power back to the grid, supporting Hendrickson's operations and benefiting the broader community.

The Crest Hill facility produces bumpers for Class 8 truck original equipment manufacturers, school bus manufacturers, and the North American replacement bumper market.

"By generating renewable energy on-site, we reinforce Hendrickson's consistent focus on reliability, engineering excellence, and customer lifecycle value, while taking meaningful steps to reduce our environmental impact," said Matt Joy, President and CEO of Hendrickson. "This project required patience, collaboration, and a great deal of behind-the-scenes work to enable us to proudly say that our bumpers are produced using renewable energy."
