Waytek Announces Funding of Additional 10,000 Trees with Eden Reforestation Projects

CHANHASSEN, MN, April 21, 2021 – Electrical components distributor Waytek, Inc. has announced funding for an additional 10,000 trees to be planted by Eden Reforestation Projects, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works in developing countries to rebuild natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation. This brings the total number of trees funded by Waytek to 30,000.

Waytek has funded the trees in fulfillment of its annual “Go Green” campaigns, which invite customers to use a digital version of its annual product catalog or to receive digital billing statements. Nearly 2,000 customers have made the switch. The trees will be planted in high-priority sites around the world that are suffering from deforestation and severe poverty.

“We thank the customers who have joined our efforts to make a positive environmental impact and we’re delighted to contribute to the growth of healthy forests,” said Kristi Gloppen, Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce at Waytek. “We will continue to offer our digital catalog and invoicing options alternatives for those who don’t require print.”

Waytek’s annual product catalog, published every February, features thousands of 12-volt electrical components and wire.

“The annual Waytek catalog has been a popular resource for customers ever since it was introduced more than 40 years ago,” said Jen Gieseke, Catalog Manager, Waytek. “With the digital version, customers can get the information they need in the same layout and page format as the printed version—with the ability to click through to order.”
