Pounds reported are not a measure of toxicity or health risk. Nearest other TRI reporters: Cardinal Health / Kpr; Ethos Energy Group; Jain Americas - Nucedar Mills; U.S. Dod Usaf Westover Arb. Similar-scale Machinery peers outside Massachusetts: Slater Fabric Filter-Bha Group Inc; Mtd Consumer Group Inc - Martin Facility; Coherent Corp.; Ge (greenville) Gas Turbines L.L.C.. Other US Tsubaki Inc sites in this extract: U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission LLC; U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission LLC - Roller Chain Div; Ballantine - Div of U.S. Tsubaki. Largest disclosed chemicals by pounds: Sodium nitrite; Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Manganese; Chromium.
US Tsubaki Automotive LLC has reported 227.1K lbs of toxic releases across 8 chemicals to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory, based on annual facility disclosures from 2019 through 2023. Of the chemicals reported, 2 are classified as carcinogens, representing 25% of the facility's chemical profile. The facility operates in the Machinery sector. The primary release pathway is off-site transfers, accounting for 100% of total releases. All release data shown below is self-reported to the EPA under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) Section 313.
Where this facility sits in the TRI record
Among the 1,186 Machinery facilities in this database, US Tsubaki Automotive LLC reports the 29th-largest volume, placing it in the top 2.4% of its sector. Its reported volume is concentrated rather than spread: Sodium nitrite alone is 76.1% of the total.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.
US Tsubaki Automotive LLC files annual Form R disclosures to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory under EPCRA Section 313, classified under NAICS 333613 (Machinery). Across 6 years of records spanning 2019–2024, the site has disclosed 227.1K lbs in cumulative toxic releases across 8 distinct chemicals, 2 of which (25%) carry a carcinogenic classification. Largest chemicals by pounds: Sodium nitrite; Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution); Manganese; Chromium.
The dominant release pathway is off-site transfers at 282.7K lbs (100.0% of total volume). Between 2019 and 2024, reported totals decreased by 22% - from 71.4K lbs to 55.6K lbs. The facility is operated under parent company US Tsubaki Inc alongside U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission LLC; U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission LLC - Roller Chain Div; Ballantine - Div of U.S. Tsubaki. Nearest other TRI reporters: Cardinal Health / Kpr; Ethos Energy Group; Jain Americas - Nucedar Mills; U.S. Dod Usaf Westover Arb. Similar-scale peers outside Massachusetts: Slater Fabric Filter-Bha Group Inc; Mtd Consumer Group Inc - Martin Facility; Coherent Corp.; Ge (greenville) Gas Turbines L.L.C..
TRI Form R values are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions, and treat every pound of reported chemical equally regardless of toxicity. Inclusion in the TRI database does not establish a health risk to nearby residents; it documents the annual reporting record that US Tsubaki Automotive LLC has filed with the EPA under federal community right-to-know requirements - open Cardinal Health / Kpr for a different chemical mix before treating volume as risk.

About TRI Data
Data as of 2023 reporting year. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory.
Data comes from the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program. Facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use listed toxic chemicals above threshold amounts are required to report annually to the EPA.
On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Sodium nitrite, Nitrate compounds (water dissociable; reportable only when in aqueous solution), Manganese, Chromium; nearby reporters include Cardinal Health / Kpr. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
