Editors note...this entry scratches the surface of the discussion last night, and please come back for future updates...
We took the WBDB to the Milwaukee SPE section meeting last night, and once again they did not disappoint. The Milwaukee SPE is dedicated to education, and last nights discussion could have been applied to any industry in Wisconsin. You did not have to be involved in the plastic industry to have positive and strong take-a-way message.
The conversation focused on keeping your business competitive in today’s economic environment, and how government, academia, and business can partner to create a stronger manufacturing industry in Wisconsin. Speakers included; Bob Dealey, Dealey’s Mold Engineering, Michael Lovell, Dean of Engineering at UW-Milwaukee, Glenn Kennedy, VP Operations, InPro Corporation, and State Representative Rich Zipperer.
The most important aspect to note is the wide range of experts that spoke, and the depth of knowledge they have to create the strong workforce. We highly suggest you follow the links provided to learn more about these highly intuitive speakers.
Speaker Bob Dealey provided one very exciting moment for us here at WBDB when he noted that five of the most innovative and dynamic tool & die companies reside right here in Wisconsin. Why was this exciting you ask? WBDB sat next to the representative from DYNAMIC , and sure enough they were mentioned in the top five. Prior to being announced as one of the most innovative in the nation we talked cap’s and closures.
Why so exciting? Because DYNAMIC, along with others such as Triangle Tool Corp. and the rest of the tool and die companies will play a critical role in the expansion of bioplastic. You can’t produce a plastic part without a mold to either push or pull the material through. As we’ve learned, no one mold works with all plastic, especially when it comes to bioplastic.
