At Triangle Coatings, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Ned Kisner, President of Triangle, is a nationally respected advocate for responsible environmental regulations for the paint and coatings industry. Over the last 30 years, Mr. Kisner has advanced environmental awareness, federal and regional regulations and has made Triangle Coatings a leader in water-based, low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint formulations.
Mr. Kisner’s interest in environmental issues began in the 1980’s when he founded PARLE, the Program Advocating Responsible Legislation for the Environment, an association of Paint Industry professionals who recognized the negative impact of traditional paint manufacturing practices and worked to implement more environmentally friendly practices. Drawing on this experience, he accepted an invitation to serve on a Federal Advisory Committee, where for 6 years he volunteered his time and expertise to develop sound regulations.
In addition to his committee work, Mr. Kisner and Triangle Coatings have assisted with environmental studies, including a Solar Reflectivity Study at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories. This study advanced knowledge of the impact of reflective paint on global warming and energy efficiency.
Ned Kisner’s efforts bring a top down commitment at Triangle Coatings to maintaining, and wherever possible exceeding, environmental regulations. From our labs to our manufacturing facility, we take all necessary steps to protect ourselves, our customers and all those who follow in our wake from the consequences of destructive environmental practices.
