It is not uncommon for industrial manufacturers to burn heavy oil, coal or diesel in their daily production process. The result is high carbon emissions and air pollution. With what’s best for the environment in mind, McLaren now uses highly efficient natural gas heating of the molds for the manufacturing of all its rubber tracks.

Because of the strategic location of the manufacturing facility near the Gulf of Thailand, McLaren receives natural gas straight from a major gas pipeline, instead of trucking it in from gas suppliers. That additionally reduces air pollution by eliminating the diesel emission from the tanker trucks.

The benefits of natural gas as an energy source, as opposed to diesel, coal or heavy oil, are undisputed. Burning natural gas produces no sulfur dioxide emissions, and has far lower levels of greenhouse gasses emissions than oil, diesel and especially coal. In addition, natural gas produces no solid waste.

McLaren USA expects continued sales growth in 2008. With a downturn in the market, and recession on the horizon, McLaren has managed to outpace the industry and its own New Year expectations. McLaren CEO Richardson Doyle explains, "We are really happy but not really surprised!  Over the last three years we've increased our R&D budget, expanded our international coverage, and invested heavily in improved manufacturing.  The truth is that more and more customers are choosing quality over price, and quality is what McLaren is best known for."  

Sunbelt Rentals, the second largest equipment rental company in the U.S. with a network of over 450 branches, including 100 Sunbelt at Lowe’s, in 35 states and the District of Columbia has chosen McLaren Industries as a preferred vendor for rubber tracks for mini-excavators and track loader machines.

In excellence, McLaren Industries has serviced the rental industry with products designed to reduce maintenance cost for many years.

The unique footprint of our dense distribution network allows us to service hundreds of chain locations equally well.
