L&L founder grabs Alberta leadership award

The CPIA Western Region has presented Darlene Lynde with its 2002 Alberta Plastics Industry Leader Award. Darlene and her husband Vern founded L&L Tool and Injection Ltd. in1989, as a toolmaking company based in their garage. The company entered the injection molding business in 1992 when it purchased the assets of a local custom injection molding shop in Calgary. L&L specializes in the custom molding of housewares and construction products, but has also recently entered the electronics market. Today, the company’s day-to-day operations are largely run by Darlene and Vern’s three children, Doug, Jason and Sonya.
"Darlene has been a strong supporter of CPIA and has served on committees at both regional and national levels," says Colin Reichle, CPIA West executive director.
