Our Sustainability
What is Niles Industrial Coatings’ Sustainability Commitment?
At Niles Industrial Coatings, sustainability isn’t an afterthought — it’s integral to our restoration, coatings, and operations strategy. We focus on reducing waste, extending asset life, improving energy efficiency, and helping clients meet their carbon-reduction goals while delivering high quality and industrial performance.
Sustainability Mission
We strive to produce a culture of better through innovation and accountability.
By focusing on asset restoration, protection, and maintenance versus replacement, we are constantly working towards reducing the carbon footprint of our customers by offering eco-friendly solutions that are both cost-effective and efficient. Our services include recycling and waste management programs, energy-efficient coatings applications, and sustainable cleaning services. As we bring specialized solutions to our customers, our goal is also to help our customer achieve their sustainability goals while minimizing environmental impact.
How We Drive Sustainability Through Asset Restoration
Instead of full replacements, we restore industrial roofs and structures using high-performance systems that divert material from landfills, reduce energy consumption, and extend service life. Our restoration-first approach helps clients cut capital expense, minimize disruption, and achieve measurable sustainability outcomes.
Roofing
Our roofing systems and specialty solutions decrease the amount of waste going to a landfill and also reduce energy usage inside of the facilities of our customers. By implementing our systems and solutions, our customers can save money on energy costs and reduce their carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Coatings & Operations
Our coatings division and shop operations implement sustainable practices such as waste reduction, recycling paint thinner, and using techniques like sponge and hydro blasting to protect the atmosphere they are working in, staying committed to reducing the environmental impact.

Sustainable Technology
We use advanced diagnostics such as infrared and nuclear roof scanning to pinpoint areas for targeted repair, avoiding full-scale tear-offs and minimizing resource use. Our team continuously explores innovations — like mobile blaster units — to reduce crew size, accelerate schedules, and limit environmental impact while maintaining performance.
Infrared & Nuclear Roofing Diagnostics
Our specialized roofing solutions and technology allow our team of experts to see what’s under the surface of a roof to identify water damage, weak points, and areas of improvement. When you identify exactly where the wet insulation is and remove it only where needed, it decreases cost and increases the energy efficiency in the entire building. With this technology, we can then give our customers exactly what is needed as a restorative solution versus a complete tear-off when it’s not necessary, without causing a disruption to operations inside throughout the duration of the project.
Blaster
We are always looking ahead to ensure we are bringing the most cutting-edge, innovative, and efficient solutions to our customers. With an ever-developing industry, and our culture of better, if there’s a better possible method or solution for our customer, we will research, test, and evaluate new technology. To speed up the schedule of a large tank project, our coatings team utilized a piece of equipment called “The Blaster.” This piece of equipment was designed for spheroid water tanks and could potentially replace up to 4 crew members. While The Blaster had a great amount of potential, there were inefficiencies that still existed with it that did not fit well with our project. However, this experience served as a valuable lesson for our team on the importance of innovation and forward thinking as we identify solutions that result in improved sustainability for our customers and our planet.
