Message from the Production Manager
Utilities and Industries has been extremely busy these last couple months and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
Due to business growing and higher demand, we have decided to purchase a larger Cold Chamber Unit. We have made these improvements because we have seen a larger demand of cold chamber testing over the past few months.
To better serve our customers, the purchase of this new cold chamber unit allows us to have a quicker turn around time for all our clients who require the cold box test.
The benefits of having a larger cold chamber unit is so we can have the capability to test more meters than we could with our old unit.
We are excited about this new purchase and cannot wait to see the business grow for the year, 2015.
Sale Item this Month
Our sale item for the month of October is a 10 LT Ferrule. It is on sale for $2.58 each.

Running Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, our Sister Company, Brookville Glove will be contributing to the nationwide annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
Brookville Glove will be running it’s own breast cancer awareness campaign by implementing many different elements to contribute to public awareness.
In order to achieve this, they will be manufacturing their own pink gloves and stamping a pink ribbon to honor survivors, remember those who lost to the disease, and to support the progress we are making together to defeat breast cancer!
The bear in the ribbon represents their American Made Brand, Burly Bear. Brookville Glove put a twist to their brand by calling the glove “Gurly Bear.” This will be their featured item for the month of October.
In addition to selling these gloves Brookville Glove will be donating 20% ALL sales from this product to the Hahne Regional Cancer Center.
In order to expand the campaign they will be participating in the Cancer Walk, called “Days of Hope Cancer Walk,” held by the DuBois YMCA and Gourmet Kitchen on September 20th 2014.
This is extremely exciting to be participating in such a great awareness cause! Spread the word on the importance and affects of breast cancer.
