SABRES RAFFLE TO BENEFIT UNITED WAY

To help our United Way fundraising campaign (which in turn helps children and families across Niagara County), we are raffling off a pair of Sabres tickets. They are for the Tuesday, January 21st game versus the Florida Panthers. They are excellent seats: Section 123, row 12, seats 13 and 14.

For $5 you can buy a raffle ticket that will be put into a random drawing to receive the tickets. On Friday, December 27th, we will draw one raffle ticket from all entries and that person will receive both Sabres tickets. You can enter more than once. All proceeds will go directly to the United Way. For every entry, you will receive a receipt so you can note your donation to charity on your 2013 tax returns.

This raffle is open to all Confer Plastics employees and friends and family of Confer Plastics.

Please participate – you’ll be helping a great cause and you might be able to see the rejuvenated Buffalo Sabres.

SWIM SPA PANELS

Yesterday we produced some parts off of our new mold which expands our spa panel program into new territory: We will now be offering cabinet panels to manufacturers who are in the swim spa industry. 

The swim spa market is a growing one in North America and we will be able to help the manufacturers save money (over extruded or wood panels) and offer an attractive alternative.

If you make swim spas, please contact Dennis Lederhouse for more information at dennis@conferplastics.com

CONFER PLASTICS PRODUCED ICONIC CHRISTMAS PRODUCT

One of the iconic images of the holiday season was manufactured by Confer Plastics.

Everyone is familiar with the leg lamp in the movie "A Christmas Story". It was the prized possession of The Old Man (played by Darren McGavin) which was ultimately broken by his wife.

We made the leg that can be seen in the classic scene below...
