SPE calls for Thermoformer of the Year nominations

Nominations are now open for the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) annual Thermoformer of the Year Award.

The nomination deadline is December 15, 2014. The 2015 Thermoformer of the Year will be recognized at the awards dinner held during the 24^th Annual SPE Thermoforming Conference, which will take place August 31-September 3, 2015 at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel and the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Ga.  Winners of the Annual Parts Competition will also be revealed during the Thermoforming Awards Dinner on Tuesday, September 1, at the hotel.

Last year’s Thermoformer of the Year award was received by Bill Kent of Beaverton, Mich.-based Brown Machine.
