There Goes Week 4! The Applied Plastics team has been super competitive, but also having lots of fun. Playoffs start next week, so hopefully the fun continues...hopefully.
Week 3 of the Cornhole Tournament! We’re starting to think people are coming to play cornhole and not elevate our partner’s catheter manufacturing projects. Regardless we’re still doing both.

We welcome Shane Desmond with great excitement to the Applied Plastics family as our new Engineering Manager! 🎉 With over 12 years of medical device experience, he will serve a key role in leading our engineering team. He's a Harley rider so not only will he be a fast mover for the company, but he has good taste too. We’re excited to have you on the team and what you’ll bring to its future.
And the games continue! Week 2 was even more competitive than the last, and it is only going to heat up from here. Hopefully we’re still the Applied Plastics Family we were before this.
We are lucky to welcome Armani Arroyo to the Applied Plastics family as our new manufacturing engineer! 🎉 He’s held various technical and engineering roles in his 10+ years of experience that will translate to a tremendous contribution to the company.
