“Credit goes to our employees for the robust start in the current fiscal year,” stated CEO Warren Kruger. “Our sales team is working diligently filling our pipeline with business from existing and new customers. The Company’s capital investment in two new large tonnage injection molding machines and a robotic extrusion line to manufacture hollow extrusion pallets, were well timed in preparing Greystone for our next growth cycle. New tooling for expansion of our products for selected markets - grocery, can, nut, cement, tech and beverage industries – is in process. We remain confident that we will fill our machines with aggressive marketing of our creatively designed products.”
