Through LEAD by Women
and other special events
with guest speakers, we’re
encouraging dialogue and
different perspectives to
best serve our customers,
drive innovation and become
a top workplace.
Below: Lean Six Sigma drives
culture and process at our
manufacturing facilities, such as
in Pune, India.
Thermoplastic
composites include these base resins, but are combined with a structural filler such as glass, wood, carbon or
polymer fibers to enhance strength, rigidity and structure.

In a year with little to no macroeconomic momentum to help drive growth, it would
have been easy to sacrifice our long-term prospects for short-term rewards.
In closing, I am proud of what we have accomplished and the
momentum we are building to drive an even brighter future.
