When Iwan
Simonis started to become increasingly popular in the U.S. market in the
early 80's, the typical color for cloth in commercial rooms was a
blue-green color, commonly referred to as American green or traditional
green. In order to make it clear that a room was using something
different, we offered our yellow-green cloth to the commercial rooms.
The yellow-green cloth is brighter than the blue-green cloth and it was
apparent at a glance that the tables were covered in something
different. As years passed, players and room owners began to use the
term "Simonis Green" to tell people what color cloth they were
referring to. Today, Simonis Green is the common name for yellow green
billiard cloth.
Simonis Green
has new meaning.
Environmentally responsible manufacturing. Available from Simonis.
Green
manufacturing is becoming important to consumers in many
countries around the world. It is a responsibility of
leading manufacturers to embrace the concept of green
manufacturing and to find ways to reduce consumption of
energy as well as reduce waste associated with the
manufacturing process.
While many cloth manufacturers in
developing countries are not concerned with the
principles of green manufacturing, Iwan Simonis S.A. of Belgium,
manufacturer of Simonis
cloth, is an environmentally conscious manufacturer and is also
considered to be a low environmental impact company.
Belgium is a member of the Kyoto
Protocol and Iwan Simonis S.A. is committed to reduce our energy consumption for manufacturing by 10%
in order to reduce electrical consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition, Simonis utilizes state-of-the-art high-efficiency units to
heat the manufacturing facilities, we pre-treat our water used
in manufacturing before
sending it on to the local water treatment facility, we
use recyclable packaging materials, and we encourage and facilitate the recycling of all
manufacturing waste products.
