Conflict Mineral Policy Statement

In response to the concerns on Conflict Minerals as stated in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, APW Company has prepared the following statement.

As a privately owned USA company, KG Squared LLC / DBA APW Company is not bound by this legislation, however, as a socially responsible global supplier, the company supports the aims of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act concerning Minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the surrounding areas controlled by the military & militias. Some mines are controlled by armed groups and may involve human rights abuses, forced child labor and violence. Sales of these “Conflict Minerals” offer financial support to these organizations.

The conflict minerals specified are:

Tantalum (Ta)
Tin (Sn)
Tungsten (W)
Gold (Au)

Of the materials stated in the above act, APW Company production parts would currently only require;

Tin; which is used in soldering of hook up wires to magnet wire in coils.

Tin and Gold; terminals and wire pins which are plated with these materials which are not fabricated by APW Company.

APW Company does not purchase any Conflict Mineral raw materials directly, but as a responsible company asks its suppliers to declare their smelter’s details. Details are supplied to APW Company in writing. As a smaller manufacturer we can not dedicate the resources needed to audit our supplier’s declarations but we do periodically request the latest statement. We will continue to work with our suppliers to ensure that only products containing “Conflict Free” minerals are supplied to our company.
