On July 17, 2017, the Imerys Carbonates division will sponsor and volunteer in the annual Renewal & Remembrance event coordinated by the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) at Arlington National Cemetery. This service event provides an opportunity for us all to work with our industry peers and give back and honor the American military veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice serving and protecting our country.
Todd Swanger, Commercial Director of Imerys Carbonates, was asked why Imerys has a strong commitment to this event, Swanger has this to say:
In all the communities that Imerys operates in, we always want to give back to the community and the people that support and serve in those communities. Imerys is proud to donate our product and time to maintain Arlington National Cemetery.
For over 20 years, Imerys Carbonates, a lime and calcium carbonate supplier, has donated Lime-Rite® lawn care products to fertilize the cemetery grounds.
