President Kevin Connelly explains that the shade structures act as a bio-mimicry designed product, imitating elements of nature. The fabric products act in a similar function of a shade tree by reducing UV sunrays, lowering temperatures and allowing air to still pass through. With their new residential shades they have engineered the aluminum structures to be made from smaller pieces that are linked together. This creates shipping advantages, lowers costs and creates less impact.

As a green business partner Apollo Sunguard Systems has implemented a number of initiatives that have positive impacts on the environment. Focusing on recycling, they look to utilize excess fabric as customer swatches. The staff recycles paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and cans. In the break area, they have reusable cups and mugs eliminating the need for excess paper products.

Apollo Sunguard Systems is involved with our local community. They are partnering with Sarasota County Sustainability Department on the Urban Heat Island Project and are working with the University of Florida to design shade structures reducing UV radiations that allow extended agricultural growing seasons in Florida. Being a veteran himself, Connelly works with local veterans on programs, such as Florida Veterans for Common Sense. He also is past president of Sarasota Manatee Manufactures Association (SAMA).
