Vitro helps new Hummer go green with lead free solder from Antaya Cranston, RI: August 15, 2008

Antaya Technologies Corp. is proud to announce a partnership with Vitro, S.A. de C.V. of Nuevo Leon, Mexico in launching glass for the new Hummer H3T with lead free connectors.  In keeping with a commitment that is shared by General Motors and Antaya Technologies Corp. to remove lead from on glass connectors, Vitro has announced that the on glass electrical connectors for the Hummer H3T will feature lead free solder from Antaya.

“By removing the lead from the solder used on the Hummer, which is not traditionally thought of as a “green” vehicle, is certainly sending a message from General Motors about their commitment to removing toxic substances from their vehicle lineup,” comments John Pereira President of Antaya Technologies Corp.  The Hummer is the first of many programs that Vitro plans to launch with lead free solder from Antaya over the next several months.
