Casual Industries sees expansion GRAND BEND - Casual Indus- tries Inc., Highway 83 east in Grand Bend have recently an- nounced completion of an addition and renovations to their manufac- 'uring and distribution centre at the above location. The family owned operation has been known in the area for several years•as a -quality manufacturer of outdoor furniture and accessory products. In order to accommodate the move of their cushion manufactur- ing plant from Waterloo to Grand Bend, a 4,000,sq. ft. warehouse has been completed and is already filled with new stock. Renovations have increased .the size of the retail showroom to allow for display of a new fine of design- er synthetic wicker, and other prod- ucts such as cast aluminum. and wood furniture, as well as hani- mocks, dinnerware, cutlery and some other accessories. All of these products will en- hance the extensive lines of P.V.C. . tubular and resin furniture the com- pany has become known for. Doug Courtney, the principal of Casual industries, feels the demand tor good quality leisure living prod- ucts will continue to grow, and that strong emphasis has to be placed on quality, service, and good value for the consumer in order to be suc- cessful in today's market. Big '0' creates standards for success EXETER - Big '0' is not only sct- ung standards within the polyethy- lene product industry, the company is also obtaining standards for in - dustry products. The Canadian Standards Associa- tion has given its stamp o[ approval to Corrugated • Polyethylene Pipe (corrugated exterior with smooth - wall interior), the first approval granted for the product. "The customer receives assurance that the product purchased has been carefully reviewed. "The CSA logo speaks Ioeder than words," said Big '0' president Grant Kline. The Standard was approved after two years of intensive work by a Task=Force led by -Big -`0' Inc. rep- resentatives and consisting of plas- tic pipe manufacturers, regulatory authorities, CSA representatives, users of plastic pipe and general in- terest representatives. CSA Standard approval of COM - gated Polyethylene pipe is good news not only for Big 'O', but also or the customer. In addition to cor- nering larger municipal markets and developing more company business, it means a step ahead in quality control. Big '0' reoogniaed a definite need for CSA approval for Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe, and was the first company to make the initial step to secure the Standard. Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe includes the company's own BOSS® 2000 storm sewer pipe. To obtain CSA approval, the product must meet certain criterion based on a Performance Standard format, including material require- ments, quality control, testing and product dimensions. The' Standard was approved by the Technical Committee for publi- cation on December 4, 1991 with the official Standard name CAN/ CSA B182.6 Profile PE Sewer Pipe and Fittings. It is the first CSA Standard for a Profile PE gravity flow pipe, a polyethylene pipe used in sanitary and storm sewer appli- cations. (The Profile PE gravity flow pipe is one that is not pressur- ized, and enables the water to run freely.) 1992 marks Big b' Inc.'s 25th Anniversary. As part of Big 'O' Inc.'s commemorative year, - the company has introduced new word - marks for some of its products for more specific identification. The new .wordmark designs project a more contemporary image and add a more eye-catching look to the names of the company's HDPE products - the BOSS® 1000 culvert pipe, the BOSS® 2000 storm sewer system and the soon -1O -be - launched BOSS® Poly -lite sanitary sewer system. The new . wordmarks replace the previous BOSS and BOSS N-12 designations and now include the sanitary sewer system products. /1 1 stimulating rural economies: Times -Advocate, March 26, 1992 manufacturing and services GODBRICH - Approximalely 250 community leaden, research- ers. development practitioners and 'policymaker ; will come together Otis • October 21-23 in Hum' County to examine the future of ru- ral manufacturing and tradeable services and the communities that depend upon there.
