Synaptic Connections//
Hard to believe that next week is Christmas. I hope you are looking forward to a fun holiday with family and friends. At Synaptic Packaging this is a big week for us - we will be on a production line testing one of our novel innovations.... finger's crossed. In the news - we see some really strong growth communications for the expansion of electric vehicles here in the USA. Most notably, the $1B investment in a battery factory outside Atlanta. My personal favorite in the list below is the research being done by Agrimax to turn food waste into specialty coatings. Have a great week! Cheers, Gary
