Leaktite Corporation and Leaktite West Corp. held socially-distant, mask-wearing ice cream socials to thank employees for their hard work this year. It has been a challenging four months and we truly appreciate their efforts to keep us going. Not to mention, ice cream just seems to make everything a little better!
It Takes A Village
Pat Freiss, Brandon Robbins, Mayra Diaz-Pagan, and Susan Chalifoux-Zephir of Ginny’s Helping Hands, Inc.
With the pandemic looming over our communities for the past two months, Susan Chalifoux Zephir, executive director, of Ginny’s Helping Hand, Inc. in Leominster, along with Kym Craven, president of the Townsend Ecumenical Outreach and Dorcus Hurd and JoAnn Mossman, volunteers of the Westminster Community Food Pantry, all agree that making sure communities have their basic necessities is what’s most important.
For over 30 years, Ginny’s mission has been to help those in need throughout the region by providing food, clothing, temporary shelter and by working with other organizations to support those who need assistance. .
“We have seen a lot of people who have lost their jobs and have never been to a food pantry before,” Chalifoux Zephir said. “We want to make sure that everyone in the community knows that’s why we’re here.”
Ginny’s, located at 52 Mechanic St., Leominster, receives food from the Worcester County Food Bank, Hannaford Supermarket and Target; and have received hundreds of pounds of food donated from LEAKTITE, Keller-Williams North Central Realty Group, and Applewild School.

Weekly resin report: Tightening supply sends prices higher
Tighter supply sent polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) prices up $0.01 to 0.02/lb last week, reports the PlasticsExchange (Chicago) in its Market Update. While the flow of fresh railcars remained slow for the second straight week and the variety of materials offered were not necessarily the most desirable, demand was robust and buyers snagged the best low-hanging fruit. The week ended with buyers seeking more well-priced resins.
3D printing also suitable for super-soft TPE compounds
Kraiburg TPE has performed extensive tests to examine the suitability of its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for use in additive manufacturing (AM). The tests have shown that almost all of the company’s TPEs can be processed with excellent results using fused deposition modeling (FDM) on devices from French 3D printer manufacturer Pollen AM.
