NO PARKING FOR THUNDER ON NIAGARA

As much as we'd like to be a good neighbor, parking in the Confer Plastics lot is not allowed for this weekend's Thunder On Niagara jet boat race at the adjoining Gratwick Park. Our lot is closed to those who do not work here due to liability and risk and production taking place this weekend. Also, parking on the roadway coming into our property is limited to the south shoulder as we need the roadway open for tractor trailers and our workforce.

NATIONAL GRID & CONFER PLASTICS TEAM-UP ON LIGHTING PROJECT

Confer Plastics is in the process of replacing the lighting at our facility which last saw an upgrade in the late-1990s. The project began last week and the energy-efficient lights have already had a huge impact: Our workforce came back from our annual plant shutdown week to a very bright production facility. It was like walking into a new factory!

Further results will appear soon as markedly-lower electrical bills.

This project would not be possible without the financial assistance of our electrical provider, National Grid. The power company paid for one half of the project!

National Grid's energy efficiency programs are designed for mid-size and large commercial & industrial customers to provide financial incentives and technical assistance to encourage the installation of high efficiency energy measures. Innovative electric technologies are available to replace inefficient equipment or systems in existing buildings which will help business owners reduce operating costs, increase productivity, and remain competitive and profitable for future growth and sustainability.
