"NEC has been actively manufacturing for over 100 years. In that time, there has been a major push to become more environmentally conscious. Working with customers and local entities, including the Wisconsin DNR, NEC is on the right path to continue with our commitment to the environment," said Mark Peterson II, the Environmental, Health, and Safety Manager for NEC. "Finally transitioning into Tier 2 of the Green Tier program is something that NEC is proud of and should stand as a testament to our never-ending pursuit to a better and cleaner future."   ![Award Ceremony-Green Tier Plaque](https://www.norcorp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Award%20Ceremony-02-1.png?width=748&height=335&name=Award%20Ceremony-02-1.png) *Mark Peterson II, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager for NEC accepting the Green Tier Program Participant Plaque from Dan Baumann, DNR Secretary's Director for Western Wisconsin.* ![Award Ceremony-Environmental Cooperation Pilot Program Plaque](https://www.norcorp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Award%20Ceremony-01-1.png?width=748&height=335&name=Award%20Ceremony-01-1.png) *Mike Mulvaney, VP R&D/Engineering of NEC, accepting the Environmental Cooperation Pilot Program-21 Year Participation Plaque from Dan Baumann, DNR Secretary's Director for Western Wisconsin.* ![Tier 2 Green Tier Award Ceremony](https://www.norcorp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/group.jpg?width=745&height=510&name=group.jpg)   [Click here](https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/GreenTier/Participants/ecppNEC.html) or more information about Northern Engraving's involvement in the Green Tier program.      Topics: [Northern Engraving](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/northern-engraving), [Award](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/award), [DNR](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/dnr), [Green Tier](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/green-tier), [Environmental](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/environmental)   ### Subscribe to Company Blog - [Topics](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/bid/205003/green-tier-program#mia-topics) - [Popular](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/bid/205003/green-tier-program#mia-popular) - [Award (3)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/award) - [Community Involvement (31)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/community-involvement) - [DNR (1)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/dnr) - [Employee Spotlight (17)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/employee-spotlight) - [Environmental (1)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/environmental) - [GM (1)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/gm) - [Green Tier (1)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/green-tier) - [Northern Engraving (56)](https://www.norcorp.com/company/news-and-events/topic/northern-engraving) ### Resources ### Design ### About © 2026 NBHX TRIM GROUP - Northern Engraving | 803 South Black River St. | Sparta, WI 54656-0377 | Phone +1 608 269 6911
