Message from ourVice President and Director of EHS

- Joe Raffa, Vice President and General Manager

In 1984, in an effort to teach my young sons about short-termand long-term goals, I challenged myself to run every singleday for a month, and then every single day for a year. Once Imet my goal, I didn't stop. I have run every single day sincethen, with this December marking 33 consecutive years ofrunning daily, never missing a day.

This analogy of short-term and long-term goals was also passedover to our business. In 2010, we faced pressure from ourlargest customer to improve operations. Our short-term goalwas to meet their expectations to keep their business. We thensaw an opportunity to make long-term goals in the fields ofemployee safety and environmental sustainability. Since then,we haven’t slowed remotely on improvement.

When I eventually retire after being at Tessy Plastics for themajority of my adult life, I can look back on my time here andthink about the journey, from where we were to where we arenow, with pride. I know when I step down, I do so comfortably,knowing our people, our planet, and our product at TessyPlastics are in good hands.

If you'd have told me 5 years ago that I would be presentingTessy's story at the United Nations someday, I would have toldyou that you were crazy. Here we are, looking back at 2017,realizing that was just one of many important steppingstonesfor our company. What an exceptionally long and rewardingroad we have traveled down, with everything falling into placebecause of the cooperation of employees, along with manyplayers throughout our supply chain. In 2017, I had the pleasure of presenting Tessy's story forvarious reporting organizations and customers around theworld, from New York and New Jersey all the way to Paris. Weare hoping to spread the word about our journey towardssustainability in an effort to assure other companies, especiallycontract manufacturers, that the initial struggle is worth it. Wewill continue to strive to be leaders in the field on corporatesocial responsibility and we look forward to seeing what thefuture holds!

- Cindy Bush, Director of Environmental, Health and Safety

2017 has been a year of drastic growth for Tessy Plastics Corp. We purchased a newfacility in Auburn, NY and finished an expansion on our North Plant in Syracuse, NY.This has rapidly increased our company space over the course of the year, while wealso saw a 6% increase in employees and an 11% increase in revenue.

With this growth comes responsibility, and we have taken proactive steps to ensureour footprint does not also grow exponentially. We expanded our recycling programand have explored many different ways to reduce our energy usage. Going into thenext year, we hope to explore ways to diversify our energy sources and develop newrecycling options.
