CONFER PLASTICS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR MACHINIST

Confer Plastics, Inc. is looking at an increase in business in the coming months and with such growth comes the need for more technical personnel. 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 3 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, say, 24 hours a week, Tuesday to Wednesday, if the retiree isn't interested in a full-time job.

Starting Wage is commensurate with experience.

NO PARKING FOR PRIMUS CONCERT

As much as we'd like to be a good neighbor, parking in the Confer Plastics lot is not allowed for this weekend's Primus concert at the adjoining Gratwick Park. Our lot is closed to those who do not work here due to liability and risk. It will be patrolled by a security guard.

Also, parking on the roadway coming into our property is limited to the south shoulder as we need the roadway open for tractor trailers, our workforce and other vehicles.

MEMORIAL DAY

Confer Plastics will be closed Saturday, May 25th through Monday, May 27th in observance of the Memorial Day weekend. Enjoy the unofficial start of summer with your families (the weather looks perfect in WNY) and please take the time to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

WATCH THE TARGET SUCCESS VIDEO ABOUT CONFER PLASTICS

In 2008, our vice-president Bob Confer appeared on an episode of "Target Success", a locally-produced business & education related show that runs on Time Warner cable in Western New York. Bob talked about the company with host Jerry Wolfgang and it makes for an excellent primer about Confer Plastics. The show is a half-hour in length and is divided in 2 videos below...

WHY FUNDRAISER ITEMS ARE PICKED UP AT OUR WAREHOSE

Yesterday, a really miserable woman who won one of our patio sets in a local fundraiser/benefit gave our staff a hard time on the phone (and dropped "F" bombs) because she was "inconvenienced" by having to pick up her FREE (and expensive) patio set.

For anyone -- like her -- who wonders why we have the sets picked up at our warehouse and don't have them available at the fundraisers, it's simple: The boxes are so large that we can't have the product at a fundraiser for space reasons within the fire hall, church, or wherever it may be held...and the coordinators of that event cannot count on the winner having enough room in his or her car the night of the event.

As for anyone who relies on our products for their fundraiser: Fear not, one bad person doesn't ruin it for everyone else. People like her are a small part of the population and the good people (and the good that we can do with our donations) can far outweigh the bad.
