NFI Corp Celebrates 1,000 Days of Safety – New Record in Manufacturer’s History

Thursday, November 21st, 2019

NEW BEDFORD, MA, ISSUED NOVEMBER 19, 2019…NFI Corp. (www.nficorp.com), the global leader in high performing printed graphic solutions, recently celebrated reaching the 1,000 days of safety mark with a celebration, held at the company on Friday, November 15.

Renaud Megard, president and CEO of NFI Corp., talked about how the company reached this milestone by putting policies in place that stress the importance of safety in every action employees take, and in reminding them to “Think first, then do.”  New standard equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, were provided for everyone, and an employee Safety Commission was formed, to ensure continued communication regarding safety.  Mark Smith, NFI Corp.’s site manager, and Fred Branquinho, plant engineer, spearheaded many of the safety initiatives. 

 

The official 1,000-day-milestone was achieved on November 12, 2019, dating back almost three years since the last safety incident.  Throughout this time, the company has also achieved a great deal of growth.  Just this past summer, NFI Corp. was named to the Inc. 5000 list (#2,442), one of Boston Business Journal’s “Fast 50” (#23), and the fastest-growing company in the $5 million to $25 million category by Providence Business News. 

 

During the celebration, Megard shared stories of employees recounting how their emphasis on safety in the workplace has spilled over to paying more attention to safety at home, especially when working on improvement projects or general home maintenance.  He accepted a citation from New Bedford City Councilors Linda Morad and Brad Markey, who congratulated the employees of NFI Corp. on their accomplishment, as well as one from State Representative Antonio Cabral.  Additionally, members of the New Bedford Police Department were on hand to learn more about the current safety policies in place and make additional safety recommendations.

 

“I am so proud of the NFI team for this accomplishment,” said Megard.  “We couldn’t have done it without everyone committing themselves to this effort.  Each person’s individual actions have kept all of us safe, and we are grateful that the idea of safety is one that all of our employees have embraced.  We look forward to continuing to celebrate more safety milestones over the days and years ahead!”

Intellectual Property 101 Shared with the Knife Industry

Sunday, November 17th, 2019

The American Knife & Tool Institute Announces the First in a Series of Expert Articles on Intellectual Property and Brand Protection to Help Knife Businesses

Cody, Wyoming (November 14, 2019) – The American Knife & Tool Institute (AKTI) is very pleased to announce that the first in a series of articles to provide a useful toolkit for knife businesses has been published on its website. Authored by two experts in the fields of intellectual property and brand protection, Denise Mosteller and Jeremiah Pastrick, as guest contributors on the nonprofit’s website, the article is titled “Intellectual Property 101.” 

Mark Schreiber President CRKT

“We are pleased to share valuable information on intellectual property with our members and the entire sporting knife industry,” said Mark Schreiber, President of CRKT and chair of AKTI’s Anti-Counterfeiting Committee. “Helping our industry thrive and grow is part of our mission as a nonprofit trade association representing the entire knife community.”

“When it comes to the basic types of intellectual property (IP) the ‘Big Three’ include patents, copyrights and trademarks,” said Jeremiah Pastrick, who has served as both vice president of a consulting firm specializing in international intellectual property (IP) development, protection and anti-counterfeiting as well as IP counsel to a wide range of global IP owners. “By and large, each of these forms of IP differ in what they provide protection for, what they don’t provide protection for, how they are created, how they are ‘secured’, and what public policy interest they are meant to serve.”

Denise Mosteller, who has had over 22 years of investigation, brand management and intellectual property experience, explained, “Intellectual property is ‘intangible,’ meaning that all forms of it are recognized as ‘creations of the mind.’ The knife industry is very innovative with different knife designs and mechanisms and makers need to protect those unique aspects to ensure financial success and protect their own individual brands.”

The first “Brand Protection” article on the website “Intellectual Property 101” can be viewed at  www.AKTI.org.
