POWER RESTORED

Power has been restored to the plant as of 6:50 PM, so there WILL be a third shift tonight (Monday, August 26th).

POWER OUTAGE AT THE PLANT

There has been a significant power outage in the area because of thunderstorms. It is affecting 1,600 businesses and residences in North Tonawanda and another 1,100 in Wheatfield...Confer Plastics is one of them. Because of that, 2nd shift has been sent home for Monday, August 26th. Power is set to be restored to the grid at 5:00 PM (per National Grid) and then we have to energize the plant and tend to the machines. So, TENTATIVELY there is still a 3rd shift tonight. To verify if there is or is not a 3rd shift, call the factory lunchroom at 10:00 PM (716.692.1025). I am hoping to have the Facebook page and blog updated by that time, too.

NO PARKING FOR RUSTED ROOT CONCERT

As much as we'd like to be a good neighbor, parking in the Confer Plastics lot is not allowed for this weekend's Rusted Root concert at the adjoining Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda. Our lot is closed to those who do not work here due to liability and risk. It will be patrolled by a security guard.

Also, parking on the roadway coming into our property is limited to the south shoulder as we need the roadway open for tractor trailers, our workforce and other vehicles.

CONFER LADDERS & INTEX POOLS

Our swimming  pool ladders currently do not work with Intex pools. But, we're planning to come out with an adapter for the 2014 season that will allow our ladders to work with these increasingly-popular pools.
