35 years in, still moving forward: a visit to Dymax in Wiesbaden
We were invited to attend the grand opening of Dymax’s expanded European facility in Wiesbaden, Germany. For me, the visit had an added layer of meaning.

A flat screen, a lesson, and what we really sell
Sometime in the late 1990’s, at a trade exhibition, we decided to display our products by showing a rolling PowerPoint presentation. We used one of the very first flat screen computer monitors.
