World Meets in EMIC
The first worldwide Sales and Materials Flow meeting was held in the EMIC Bldg. Attending the session were clockwise: P. Haas, F. Johns, R. Mazzeo, E. Geise, Vice President of International Operations, T. McMahon, T. Griffiths, J. Hunt, W. Cook, E. Barrows, R. Kraynick, R. Hall, J. Pheasant, J. Ford and W. Leukhardt.
The world came together in EMIC when the first Uniroyal Chemical International Sales and Material Flow meeting was held there. The meeting was organized to solidify the activities of the worldwide Sales and Material Flow groups.
The Overseas Marketing Group is part of the Chemical Division’s International Operations and is headed by Edward Geise, Vice President. All of the Division’s operations outside of the U.S.A. make up the International Group: Sales, Production and Research and Development and provide a strong, coordinated worldwide marketing activity.
The direct sales activities are centered in Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil. From these international offices, customers are served by technically competent and customer-oriented agents and distributors. These activities (except for the European area and Brazil) are coordinated from the Headquarters office in EMIC by Walter Cook, Philip Haas, Russell Mazzeo, Robert Kraynick, Francis Johns, Edward Barrows, Denise Dovell, Mary Okoski and Gill Boyle.
Nearly 10% of the 1977 estimated Division sales of Naugatuck Rubber Chemicals, Polymers, and Plastics will be products manufactured at the Naugatuck plant.
$1228 for Ideas
$1228.00 in checks is handed out by Charles Ferguson, Chemical Maintenance Foreman, for Ideas submitted by members of the department. Emil Rehel (left) and Raymond Kubick (right) received a total of $716.00. Cirno LoBalbo, (second left) and Ted Hubbell (third left) received $512.00 for their Idea.
Four members of the Chemical Maintenance Dept. received $1228.00, for their Ideas on reducing costs in the plant.
The team of Raymond Kubick and Emil Rehel received a total of $716.00 for their idea to reuse the stainless steel hoses in the manufacture of MDI. They recommended that the solid matter that accumulated in the hoses during manufacture be burned out and the hoses reused. The idea will result in annual savings of $5340.00 for the plant.
Ted Hubbell and Cirno LoBalbo, also of the Chemical Maintenance Department, were awarded $512.80 for their suggestion on improving the bagging of Roylar® polyurethane elastomers in Bldg. 80. The Idea will result in savings of $4930.00 per year for the plant.
The combined annual savings of the two Ideas amounts to $10,270.

Save Your Electric Bill
Turning out lights saves energy. A 100-watt light bulb burning for 10 hours uses 11,600 BTU’s, which is the energy equivalent of a pound of coal or a half-pint of oil.
