As the final week of March rolls around, the Apple Rubber team is ready to resume its busy 2014 travel schedule. The next destination: BIOMEDevice Boston, a Med Tech World-sponsored conference slated to run on March 26 and March 27 that is expected to draw over 350 exhibitors to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The power of one-on-one networking makes trade shows a valuable proposition for Apple Rubber — and that’s why our marketing team is slated to attend 16 national and international shows through the end of 2014. See where they are headed next.
In 2013, Apple Rubber had its finest financial performance since opening its door 40 years ago. Using our master plan for controlled growth, a broader customer base, and exceptional customer service as a blueprint, we continue to have successful growth.
The Apple Rubber team is back on the road this week. We have a foursome set to attend the MD&M West Conference from Monday, Feb. 10 through Thursday, Feb. 13 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.
One of Kevin Oberholzer’s most memorable projects at Apple Rubber came, as he describes it, when he convinced “one of the guys from the machine shop to help me build a sweep for one of the injection presses. We took sprockets, bicycle chain, a roller with rack and pinion to make a roller sweep that fit within the shroud of the press. This contraption allowed us to run many high volume O-ring projects automatically and cut the cycle time in half.”
Apple Rubber successfully reaffirmed its compliance with ISO 9001:2008 / AS 9100C following a January site audit of our facilities by Underwriter’s Laboratories.
Representatives from Apple Rubber will attend the Marcellus-Utica Midstream Conference and Exhibition slated for Tuesday, Jan. 28 through Thursday, Jan. 30 in Pittsburgh. Over 1,500 attendees and roughly 200 exhibitors are expected to participate in the Hart Energy-sponsored event.
