Dave in 1998 |
Confer Plastics has a new member – the 26th – of the coveted Twenty Year Club.
Its newest addition
is our design & process engineer -- Dave Lipniarski (the photo at left is
from early 1998).
Dave has been working for CPI continuously since 1996 and had also spent a few years during the mid-1980s working for the company at our old site on East Avenue. Between stints he worked for Westwood Pharmaceuticals (a division of Bristol-Myers Squibb).
Dave has one of the
keenest -- and fastest -- design minds around and he has helped make dozens of
our customers’ ideas a reality, taking a thought or a line drawing from them and
transforming it into a blow-molded product. He has also been instrumental in
making the consumer price driven change in how we mold swimming pool ladders,
taking them from a series of molds run in multiple machines to one multi-cavity
mold needing just one machine.
Since 1998 Dave has
been awarded 11 patents from the federal government and these inventions can be
seen in everything from the gravity hinge on our gates to a circular
interconnect to the rotatable legs concept
used on crowd control barriers to the male/female locking system used on all of
our Leisure Accents products and spa steps.
