CONFER-MANUFACTURED GOODS AT AIRPORTS

It's always enjoyable to see the goods we've produced being put to use. Among the diverse items we manufacture for one of our custom clients is an airport runway barrier/guide. While traveling out of LAX the customer snapped this awesome photo of the product (the orange and white units with the lights atop them).

CHRIS LEE TOURS CONFER PLASTICS

Congressman Chris Lee toured Confer Plastics on Monday, April 5th. After a tour of the facility, he and Doug & Bob Confer talked about issues which have impacted Confer Plastics' ability to expand and compete nationally and internationally.

Chris is a "rookie" in Washington, DC, this being his first term in Congress (or any public office for that matter). Prior to running for Congress he ran his family business, Enidine, which has 20 plants worldwide...so he is the rare elected official who thoroughly understands the issues that affect manufacturers.

His district, the NY 26th, covers a vast area of WNY that includes North Tonawanda, Amherst, Lockport, Batavia, Medina, Geneseo and Brockport. Pundits and politicians on both sides of the fence have commented on how good of a Congressman he is as he applies fiscal common sense and an across-the-aisle approach to everything he's done. Politico, Washington's newspaper, even named him the "Rookie of the Year".

He's been instrumental in improving airline safety and holding the FAA accountable for the flaws that led to the crash of 3407, he's led the charge for a WNY passport office, and he's been working closely with Delphi retirees.

MADE IN AMERICA STORE TO CARRY CONFER PRODUCTS

Confer Plastics' lawn & patio furniture will be sold at the one-of-a-kind "Made In America Store" in Elma, NY. The store, which opens on April 3rd, is the brainchild of Mark Andol who also owns and operates General Welding. Deeply affected by the mass exodus of manufacturing jobs from the USA, Mark has made good on his patriotic values through this store.
