President’s Message

Dear SPE Cleveland members and friends,

Our May 12 Thogus/RP+M tour drew outstanding attendance thanks to the joint promotion efforts of both SPE Cleveland and the Cleveland Engineering Society (CES). The Thogus management team were exceptional hosts, providing valuable insights into what progressive custom plastic molding operations are all about. As part of the opening remarks, Scott Peters, Chair of the SPE Mold Technologies Division, recognized Christopher MacDonald as Mold Maker of the Year. Chris, who is employed by Faith Tool and Die in Willoughby, was also in attendance for this event.

Looking ahead to June, SPE Cleveland is planning it Student Scholars Awards presentation during the week of June 8 . The exact date and location will be announced shortly.

We are also excited to report that the technical agenda for our October 22 Injection Molding Innovation Summit has now been finalized for this full-day conference.
