CORPORATE RESPONSIBILTY
Since Altor Solutions first began operations as Foam Fabricators Inc. more than six decades ago we have dedicated wide-ranging efforts toward being the best we can be in how we treat our entire community and surroundings. We recognize the importance of preserving our environment, and conducting our business in a socially responsible and ethical manner. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues play a critical role to the long-term success of a business and managing those concerns in a sustainable way is of utmost importance to us.
To that end, we focus on effective partnerships with our workforce, our customers, our suppliers and beyond – all of which leads to greater success and a better, more sustainable quality of life on all fronts. This is reflected in our ISO 9001 commitment to continuous improvement across all facets of our operations. It is further reflected in our current Mission Statement which was adopted years ago and remains a guiding principle today.
Corporate Headquarters in Scottsdale, AZ
“Through all of our partnerships we consistently look for ways to better meet our ESG goals – it’s been our focus since Day One. We strive to design and produce each and every product, process and program to incorporate the best environmental, social and governance practices – not only for our business but for our entire stakeholder community.”
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
How well we protect our planet is critically important to the Altor Solutions family. This comes into play in product design and how we manage our facilities and resources during production and distribution. We consider ourselves stewards of the environment and consistently work toward reducing our footprint and bettering our internal and external surroundings.
Product Design – We partner with our customers to develop a holistic solution – one that optimizes a product’s use, efficiency and efficacy on all fronts. This means not only designing a product that is effective but one that holds true to sustainability. Material reduction, energy use, recyclability, and reusability – it’s all given serious consideration throughout the design process.
Facilities Management – We have a number of goals and incentive programs throughout our organization aimed at reducing our impact on the environment. We constantly focus on ways to lower energy use, increase efficiency, increase recycling, reuse utilities, identify and use alternative types of energy, and produce zero waste throughout our plants – all to continuously lower our environmental footprint.
“I’m proud to say we have always been dedicated to environmental sustainability. We have numerous initiatives within our facilities and the industry aimed at zero waste, lowering energy use and carbon emissions, and increasing recycling. We are a nationally recognized recycling partner for certain foams, and we take in thousands of pounds annually from both businesses and consumers – which are then recycled or upcycle into other products.”
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
How we better the lives of our internal and extended community is of utmost importance. We recognize that our existence is not just about producing parts, but about building an environment that is comfortable, safe and positive.
Workplace Family – Above all we strive to make life at our facilities a positive experience for each and every member of our workforce. We focus diligently on the health, safety and wellbeing of individuals. We also have a number of incentive and reward programs aimed at recognizing efforts and aligning all of our internal goals. We want each individual to feel valued and fulfilled, and be happy to be part of our organization.
Community – We believe in community outreach and our local community is a true extension of our family. We partner with local organizations and schools to provide services, scholarships and financial assistance, and donate regularly to a number of causes. We have a longtime partnership with Open Sky Community Services, a local agency aimed at improving the lives of persons with disabilities. We employ a number of individuals in support of their work program, and regularly donate funds to the organization.

“We realize how important our community is – not just our working family but our extended community within the neighborhood, our customers and suppliers, and beyond. Inside our plant where I can make the biggest impact I love seeing how we operate and support the local community. I’m extremely proud to have been instrumental in getting our Open Sky program up and running twenty years ago – every day we have adults with disabilities working here as part of our family which has a tremendous positive impact on everyone.”
GOVERNANCE RESPONSIBILITY
Our management is dedicated to addressing stakeholder issues, and ultimately ensuring the financial well-being of the entire team – our company, our workforce, customers, suppliers, and extended community. The widespread partnerships we cultivate throughout our entire stakeholder community allow us to better ensure that success. We strive to impact our customers’ businesses through better, more economical and more sustainable designs that provide exceptional, cost-effective solutions for us all. The stronger we are as companies the more we can ensure our longevity and our long-term commitment to our community and our environment.
ISTA-Certified Test Lab Services Help Customers Bring the Optimal Product to Market
“We are firm believers in partnerships with our customers so we can help them to be successful and profitable. The current buzzword may be sustainability but it’s always been part of our ongoing philosophy to design the optimal part for our customer – a part that meets their needs while reducing damages, labor, freight, etc., and in turn allows them to be more profitable. It’s part of our Mission Statement, and we take that very seriously.”
