Saft America, Inc., an international company with a local facility in Valdosta, Ga., has been recognized for its innovative environmental management policies by Frost & Sullivan, a recognized global leader in growth consulting. As the number one company, Saft was named the 2003 recipient of the Frost & Sullivan Award for Battery Recycling Service Leadership within the battery industry. Announcement of the honor was made by Peter Denoncourt, plant manager of the Valdosta facility.

"By meeting our measurement criteria, the company has clearly achieved the number one industry ranking for recycling," said Sara Bradford, a Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst. "We also were impressed by the company's demonstrated leadership and flexibility in tailoring its recycling program to meet customer needs in terms of battery recycling innovation."

Selection was based on evaluation results compiled by a Frost & Sullivan analyst team that conducted interviews with market participants, as well as engaging in extensive secondary research and customer surveys.

"Around the globe, Saft is committed to work closely with many agencies to provide safe, efficient and correct battery collection and recycling procedures," said Dr. Khushrow Press, president of Saft America.
