 Donation made in memory of Doris Madigan Press-Gazette • August 27, 2010 St. Vincent Hospital on Tuesday held a special blessing for its new San Damiano Crucifix, which tells the story of Jesus through painted icons. Purchase of the crucifix was made possible through a donation from Green Bay resident James Madigan, who co-founded FEECO International with his wife, Doris. James Madigan made the donation in memory of his wife, who died in 2009, according to St. Vincent.  In an intimate, private celebration at UW-Green Bay, May 12, the Madigan family, their close friends, and members of the University, remembered Doris Madigan, a devoted wife, mother and woman of influence, who had a special fondness for UW-Green Bay. The family honored Doris with two benches in her memory that will permanently remain at the Weidner Carillon, next to the University Union. The location is appropriate because of the long-standing friendship between the families of the Weidners and the Madigans. A dedication plate on the bench reads, “In loving memory of Doris M. Madigan ’78 and ’83. Friend and avid supporter of UW-Green Bay. 1925-2009.”  Feeco is Providing Solutions and Value to Waste Streams
Imagine your average compost heap. Items such as wilted lettuce leaves or leftover banana peels probably figure in the picture somewhere. Steel dust or unused industrial chemicals more than likely do not. For Green Bay company Feeco International however, metal dust and other wastes do have a place in the pile. Feeco, which started in 1951 as a fertilizer equipment and engineering company, has grown progressively greener over the last two decades. Feeco has a strong interest in environmental management; it concerns itself more with renewable materials than renewable energy. Two of its main types of technology are thermal processing, as used in rotary dryers, kilns and coolers, and agglomeration, which goes hand in hand with thermal equipment. Feeco has likened its work to a large-scale, high-quality version of composting. Many of Feeco’s projects involve keeping potentially valuable wastes such as metal dust, various chemicals and sludges out of local landfills, reusing them in environmentally-friendly ways instead of discarding them. This not only reduces land and water contamination, but also decreases both waste transportation and future clean-up costs.  Any company with a waste generation problem, from steel mills to municipalities to farmers, is a potential Feeco customer. Feeco has worked with companies everywhere from across the street to across the globe, from South Africa’s gold and diamond mines and Australian chicken farmers to the dairy farms and meat-packing plants of Wisconsin’s own Brown County.Though there are several other companies working along similar lines, Feeco’s knowledge of fertilizer after 59 years in business puts it ahead of its competitors. Currently, Feeco employs between sixty and seventy people at its office and shop, and looks forward to further growth as the number of inquiries it receives from industries increases.

It doesn’t have to be that way, say those behind a still-new certificate program at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. The Environmental Management and Business Institute marries the studies of the two together. “It used to be that you didn’t take business courses if you majored in environmental science, and you didn’t take environmental science courses if you majored in business,” says John Stoll, professor of public and environmental affairs at UWGB and co-director of EMBI. FEECO proudly supports the 2nd annual Green Innovations 2010 hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on April 22-23, 2010 Green Bay, WI (April 22, 2010) – FEECO International was originally founded to supply the fertilizer industry and has grown over the years to be a well known leader for offering equipment and solutions to companies based around an Eco-Centric viewpoint. During past 59 years FEECO has worked to develop a balance between the environment and their customer’s strategic positions. FEECO makes sure that the environment is held in high standards for the past, present, and future generations. |
