CPI LOOKING TO BRING ON A FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME MACHINIST

CPI is now accepting applications for the position of machinist.

Our machinists modify/repair blow molds and design, build, and modify tooling and fixtures needed in the blow molding process. Knowledge of machining is required; a minimum of 5 years experience as a machinist is preferred.

An extensive background in machining is required, but we are not looking for CNC machinists. We are in need of machinists experienced in Bridgeport mills, engine lathes, and horizontal boring mills. Aluminum welding is a plus.

The position is full-time permanent, Monday to Friday on our 1st Shift (7:00 am to 3:25 pm), but we would be willing to hire a machinist who retired early from one of the local automakers (like Delphi) who might be looking for something to do to earn some extra bucks. For an individual like that, we wouldn't mind offering 24 hours a week if the retiree isn't interested in a full-time job.

Starting Wage is commensurate with experience.

Send resume to:

BOB CONFER
CONFER PLASTICS, INC.
97 WITMER ROAD,
NORTH TONAWANDA, NY 14120

EMAIL: bob@conferplastics.com

FAX: 716-694-3102

Please, no phone calls.

CONFER PLASTICS CAN DONATE TO YOUR WNY FUNDRAISER

Confer Plastics loves to give to the community, with a special emphasis on more-localized events and fundraisers that help smaller organizations or, especially, families that are in great need in times of health issues and other crises. Every year we give away hundreds of our pub/patio sets -- and other Leisure Accents products -- to such events. They make great raffle and door prizes and can help the organizers bring in some big money.

If your WNY community organization or cause is looking for a prize to give away at a fundraiser, please email us (bob@conferplastics.com).

Don't hesitate to ask: In 2013 we donated product with a total retail value of $22,000. It's the least we can do to help local organizations and families succeed in trying times and a trying economy.

NEW FOR 2014: VETERAN'S DAY

The company is adding another day to our list of holidays – Veteran’s Day.

BUT, it’s not for everyone. Most everyone here will still be working that day.

Only Confer Plastics and Adecco personnel who are veterans or currently serving in the armed forces will receive the day off and the holiday pay that comes with it.

We are doing this to recognize the men and women who REALLY deserve that day off --- the people who risked life, limb, and livelihood to ensure that we all have the freedoms that we enjoy.

At last count, we have 9 people who will be receiving that new annual benefit.

A big “thanks” goes out to them for their service!

BLIZZARD UPDATE

Niagara County has been unaffected by the blizzard affecting parts of WNY. We didn't even get a dusting of snow at the plant overnight and today. So, there is production on Tuesday. BUT, a few miles away in Erie County, conditions are horrible and bans are in place, so Erie County residents will be excused from work (be safe!). Niagara County residents are still to report to work.
