DAVE BASSLER RETIRING

At the end of this month, Dave Bassler will be retiring from Confer Plastics and the blow-molding industry.

The 72-year old has worked at CPI for the past decade, after having worked for the company in the early 1980s before spending almost 20 years with Airlock Plastics, another blow molder which, by the way, had been started by CPI founder Ray Confer.

Dave has been a real asset to Confer Plastics, handling many an electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical repair in the plant while overseeing the parts ordering - and outside repairs - for all of our molding machines and auxiliary equipment.

We will miss Dave's knowledge, experience and, above all, Dave himself. He's always been a great coworker and friend.

We wish him well in retirement.

BOY SCOUT POPCORN DISTRIBUTED TODAY

Confer Plastics is doing some interesting community service today: Our Liberty Drive warehouse is serving as the distribution center for the Greater Niagara Frontier Council's (Boy Scouts of America) popcorn sale.

Scoutmasters: Our address is 2107 Liberty Drive in Wheatfield (Niagara Falls maildrop). Drive all the way back to the last loading docks.

FOOD DRIVE WAS A SUCCESS

Confer Plastics and Adecco teamed to conduct a food drive to benefit the Food Bank of WNY.

With the holidays approaching Confer Plastics and Adecco wanted to give back to the local community especially as times are still tough financially for so many across the nation. In Niagara County alone the Food Bank of WNY delivers more than 1.2 million pounds of food annually to assist more than 10,000 people per month. Out of those served by the Food Bank, 39% are children and 11% are seniors.

A collection bin was set-up at the Confer Plastics factory and our workforce contributed two 55-gallon drums filled with non-perishable food items!!

SECOND SHIFT DELAYED ON NOVEMBER 10th

The power came back on at the plant at 10:30 AM Thursday morning. The machines need to heat up, so the start of second shift is delayed to 5:00 PM (and it will end at the usual 11:25 PM). The foreman, assistant and 2 technicians must still report at 3:00 PM.

NO THIRD SHIFT ON NOVEMBER 9

Due to the power outage in North Tonawanda that lasted more than 2 hours this evening, there will be no third shift on Wednesday, November 9, 2011.
