• Mold Builder of the Year Award
The Second Annual American Mold Builders Association “Mold Builder of the Year” was awarded to Donna Koebel, CEO of Prestige Mold Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, California. The award is given to an AMBA member who excels in business, contributes to the industry and promotes mold making through a variety of activities, and exemplifies the high quality standards and ethics of a member company of the American Mold Builders Association. “I am very surprised, but especially honored at being recognized by my peers for this award,” said Donna. “It means a lot to me and I appreciate the support that everyone in the AMBA has given me. I have a lot of respect for everyone in this business. It’s been difficult for the mold making industry these past few years, but we’re all in the same boat and I know they all appreciate the hard work it takes to be successful.” Prestige Mold Inc. was founded 20 years ago by Donna Koebel and her husband Mike, in the family’s garage. Donna, whose background is in accounting and business, ran the business side of Prestige Mold, becoming CEO after Mike’s death six years ago. Over the past five years, it has been Donna’s goal to continue to build the company into a state-of-the-art mold manufacturing company. To that end, Prestige Mold has invested heavily in high-speed machining, state-of-the-art automation and robotic manufacturing cells, and computer-aided design, engineering and quality equipment. Prestige is expanding its capabilities into mold sampling/qualification with the installation of a Husky 160-ton injection molding press. “We plan to continue looking at new opportunities to be a supplier of excellence to our customers,” she added. With the help of an excellent management team and skilled mold makers, 65 employees total, Donna has grown Prestige Mold into one of the top mold manufacturing firms in the United States. With a focus on high-cavitation production molds for the medical and packaging industries, Prestige Mold serves Fortune 500 customers nationwide. “I want to thank all of my employees for their tremendous efforts in making Prestige Mold a successful business,” Donna said. “Their role in helping me achieve this award can’t be under-estimated.” Donna serves on the Board of Directors of the AMBA California Chapter, and is also active in the Ladies in Plastics Golf Organization, which raises several thousand dollars each year to enrich lives of those who have been touched by breast cancer. “I believe that having a positive attitude is everything,” she said. “I want all of us in this industry to keep a positive attitude. If you bring that feeling to work with you, you’ll be more successful.” Read...
• SPI Launches Plastics Showcase at Innoventions at Epcots®
WASHINGTON, DC (January 28, 2004) – The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI) recently unveiled plans for its “Fantastic Plastics Works” showcase at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
The ceremony took place on January 15, during an event held in conjunction with the association’s January 2004 Executive Board meeting. The event was held in INNOVENTIONS East, one of two buildings at Epcot® that house exhibits designed to help guests discover the latest in science and technology. INNOVENTIONS is an interactive playground that allows guests to experience innovations in science and technology that will impact their lives in a positive way. Scheduled to open in the summer of 2004, SPI’s approximately 5,000 sq. ft. exhibit will showcase the full scope of the plastics industry, from imagination and design to manufacturing and products, said SPI Chief Communications Officer Bonnie Merrill Limbach. Anchored by SPI members DuPont and GE Plastics and supported by contributions from those companies and other participants, the exhibit “seeks to improve the public’s understanding –and appreciation- of the plastics industry and also encourage youngsters to consider careers in it,” Limbach explained. “It was a tremendously exciting day for SPI, its membership and the plastics industry,” she said, “a day that will be surpassed only when the showcase opens to INNOVENTIONS visitors at Epcot®. At that time, we know INNOVENTIONS guests will share that excitement, as they discover the broad and positive impact plastics have on their lives.” At the Thursday ceremony, SPI governance group members, staff and guests reviewed architectural plans for the colorful, interactive exhibit and learned more about elements of the multi-dimensional showcase. SPI also used the ceremony to thank its growing list of exhibit sponsors. In addition to GE Plastics and DuPont, they include: Daikin America; Plastics News: Bemis Manufacturing Company; Thermalcare; Ampacet; Intralox, Inc.; Demag Plastics Group; RBK Tool & Die, Inc.; The Conair Group, Inc; United Southern Industries; Bekum America Corporation; the SPI Machinery Division; the SPI Molders Division; the SPI Moldmakers Division; ISO Poly Films, Inc.; SPI West; Novatec, Inc.; Steinwall, Inc.; Jatco, Inc.; Prestige Mold, Inc.; SuperFos Packaging, Inc.; Mid South Extrusion, Inc.; Coeur, Inc.; Leistritz Extruder Corp., and UPM, Inc.
