Manufacturing Roundtable
Event Sponsors
Please join the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce for our Manufacturing Roundtable with Eric Busenburg, President of Euro-American Worldwide Logistics and Lavon Winkler, President of FLEXcon North America.
Like many of our Manufacturing companies in the region, Euro-American and FLEXcon had to pivot and make changes to their business models due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Whether it is Mr. Busenburg and Euro-America helping pharmaceutical companies ship medical products and equipment to our region to help facilitate the needs here or Mr. Winkler and FLEXcon donating face shields, hazmat suits and other protective gear to our local hospitals; the need for manufacturing has never been greater.
