CLINTON, Tenn., September 2, 2015 –Techmer PM, a leading producer of value-added colors and additives for the plastics and fiber industries is opening its doors to the plastics industry as part of a tour and workshop, hosted by SPI’s West Region. The event takes place on September 10 from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., and includes a technical workshop, facility tour, and networking reception. As part of the workshop, Angie Martin, Techmer PM’s regulatory product specialist, will provide an update about regulatory issues facing plastics processors. James Reeve, CEO at Newport Power, will speak about solar and alternative energy while SPI’s Kim Holmes will explain the organization’s zero net waste program and sustainability benchmarking.
“We are proud to open our doors to other plastics industry professionals,” said Ryan Howley, Techmer PM’s president. “So far, 2015 has been a year of incredible milestones for our company−from a visit by President Obama and Vice President Biden in January, on to product innovations and significant industry partnerships. Collaboration with customers and industry partners is critical to our ongoing strategy, and we look forward to sharing our recent experiences as part of the SPI workshop.”
The West regional workshop is open to SPI members and non-members, and is intended to provide networking opportunities for plastics industry professionals across the U.S. SPI’s Midwest, South, and Northeast regional advisory boards will host programs throughout the month of September.
“The U.S. plastics industry is among the most innovative and technologically advanced sectors in manufacturing, but that hasn’t stopped in-person, face-to-face meetings from still being the best way to start, grow and build new business relationships,” said William R. Carteaux, SPI President and CEO, in a press release.
