At Somerville, sustainability is achieved through durability, lifecycle thinking, and engineering discipline.

Our commitment to environmental responsibility emerges from engineering discipline, material expertise, and a focus on building systems that perform reliably for decades.

Our Role in Sustainable Projects

Somerville operates within a specific scope: the design, fabrication, and installation of commercial kitchen equipment.
We contribute to project-level sustainability goals through precision manufacturing and equipment efficiency, rather than broad environmental claims.

Corporate cafeteria systems designed to meet LEED Platinum standards with a focus on water efficiency and sustainable material sourcing.

Commercial kitchen installation supporting LEED Gold certification through energy-efficient equipment selection and sustainable material specifications.

Operational Practices and Circular Value

“Somerville kitchens are built to last —

performing reliably even in the most demanding environments”

Our Commitments to Continuous Improvement

Advanced Protocol
Welding Fleet Efficiency
Ongoing replacement of legacy welding units with inverter technology to improve electrical efficiency on the fabrication line.

Adaptation Plan
Site Packaging Reduction
Utilization of reusable blankets and recyclable cardboard for domestic
logistics, reducing single-use plastic volume at installation sites.

Approved Practice
Local Sourcing

Procurement of raw materials from suppliers within a defined radius of our facility to manage transport-related emissions.

Assessment Program
Renewable Energy Feasibility
We continue to conduct exploratory studies to assess the viability of project initiatives and impact-driven actions that enable measurable progress.

Working Together

We collaborate with architects, consultants, and facility managers to define practical sustainability outcomes.
By aligning fabrication and installation protocols with project goals, we deliver commercial kitchens engineered for long-term operational performance.
