Helping Habitat for Humanity
Umicore Building Products USA Inc. has made a generous donation to a Habitat for Humanity home in Cincinnati, Ohio: 1100 square feet (100m2) of QTZ Adeka zinc shingles for the roof, gutters, drainpipes and porch. Umicore Building Products staff from Raleigh and Portland kindly donated their skills and free time.
Grateful officials from Habitat and the University of Cincinnati are looking forward to the grand opening this summer. Started under President Jimmy Carter, Habitat provides housing at a reasonable price. From the USA's inner cities to the tsunami-ravaged regions of SE Asia, it has built over 150,000 homes.
