Speaking on Business: Kaddas Enterprises

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Kaddas Enterprises is a second generation family business specializing in thermoformed plastic manufacturing. Their innovative products help protect power infrastructure from animal-related outages, ensuring a stronger and more reliable energy grid. CFO and General Counsel, John Adams, joins us with more. John Adams: At Kaddas Enterprises, we’re proving that industry and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Our goal is simple: keep power reliable while protecting wildlife. Since animal interactions cause 20 percent of all power outages in the United States, we’re on a mission to eliminate these disruptions worldwide. We’ve grown rapidly over the past five years, investing in cutting-edge equipment and building a skilled team to keep up with demand. As a proud U.S. manufacturer, all our products are made in Salt Lake City using raw materials from Pennsylvania. Our in-house design and development team works closely with power utilities to create innovative BirdguarD solutions, launching five to seven new products each year. By identifying the risks before they become problems, we help make power grids stronger and communities safer. At the end of the day, we’re not just making products — we’re protecting power, wildlife, and people who depend on both. Derek Miller: Kaddas Enterprises is all about sustainability, using eco-friendly materials and efficient manufacturing to cut down on waste. They’re constantly innovating, developing new technologies that improve power grids and protect wildlife. Learn more at Kaddas.com. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
