Green Policy

Good business is environmentally friendly

Testrite Visual has made a strong commitment to being environmentally friendly.


Input: Aluminum, steel and corrugated are our
major materials components.

25% of our Aluminum currently comes from recycled billet, and will increase as more becomes available. Steel recycled content currently averages 58%. Corrugated medium and liner board (boxes) currently average 70% recycled content.

Where:  As a U.S. manufacturer, Testrite utilizes local suppliers reducing transportation impact. The carbon footprint of a Toyota Prius built in Asia is greater than a Chevrolet Surburban.

Design:  Many of our designs are telescopic, facilitating less packaging  and transportation. 

Process:  88% of our scrap metals are recycled. 60% of our corrugated waste is converted into usable packaging. We will recycle our brand aluminum products if returned to us by customers. 

Quality: Testrite products have always been known for extraordinary reliability and therefore have longer lives than our competitors' products.
If our products last longer, the carbon footprint is therefore less. Product
life impacts the environment more than any other factor.

Please feel free to contact us for further information.

Our  policy is to run our business with our earth in our hearts.

About Us:

Celebrating our 92nd year
as a solutions oriented manufacturer:

In this digital age, as processing of images becomes easier, and markets realize that graphic opportunities exist virtually everywhere, the DISPLAY funtion becomes critical.

Testrite Visual strives to facilitate and defineAmerican Graphic Display Hardware. Taking advantage of display opportunities will continue to be a growth area for years to come because visual communication is cost efficient and effective.

We are celebrating our 92nd year in business. It is our honor to present to you our new catalog featuring many exciting new products.

Our approach has always been to listen carefully to our customers, and to deliver products that best maximize current marketing trends. We service a wide range of industries and structure our discount schedules to offer robust seller margins.

Testrite is very proud to be an American manufacturer with an extraordinary reputation for value and reliability. Because we manufacture in the U.S., our supply chain is shorter, "greener", and we can offer customizable solutions.

Testrite, and our newest Display Source Catalog, have been a labor of love and tells a story of continuing product and Company evolution. For nine decades we have enjoyed working closely with our customers to make their projects successful.

Thank you - customers, vendors, employees - past and present.

Sincerely,

Larry Rubin
President & CEO

We are proud of our rich history:

Founded in 1919 in lower Manhattan by my grandfather, Herman Neuwirth, Testrite was originally an importer and manufacturer of scientific instruments.

WWII forced the company to rely solely on manufacturing, producing government specified optical goods and war materials. In 1955 the company moved to Newark, N.J.

For the next five decades we manufactured photographic, art material, office product, audio-visual, & educational accessories under our own brand name and others.

All in the family

Still strong after 3 generations, Testrite embraces change
