From their website, "Our manufacturing facility produces product using raw material containing primarily recovered metals. Products from our other manufacturing sources contain a similarly high level of recycled content. Baldwin recycles 100% of all brass scrap generated here in Reading, and also recycles 100% of all hazardous wastes generated. Our electroplating lines utilize state of the art equipment to minimize raw material usage, and minimize waste generation. Water conservation practices result in a nearly 40% reduction in water usage with the attendant reduction in the treatment of rinse waters and generation of treatment by-products."

Baldwin offers a full suite of entry products including harmonizing locks and numbers, kick plates and bell buttons, knockers and lighting. They also manufacture drawer and cabinet hardware, bath accessories, hinges, finials, switch plates, and utility pulls.
