While AGRU has sponsored P2PSC and other organizations for many years, the company multiplies the impact of every funding dollar through hands-on participation and engagement with its new campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur technical team offers industry-leading support across all our product groups,\u201d said Anthony Johnson, Head of the Technical Product Support Team, \u201cby collaborating with marketing and outreach, we can bring our expertise front-and-center to a wider audience and find new ways to improve our communication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The P2PSC event, designed to give 8th<\/sup> graders in the region a glimpse of possible career paths for their future, brings young people and local businesses together. For the 2024 P2PSC event, AGRU designed three activities with a pipe-building activity as the headline station. The station challenged hundreds of students to a team-building, critical-thinking exercise illustrating the value of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes in various applications. Those curious to learn more were directed to the other stations to learn about AGRU’s design and technical processes, resins, manufacturing, and how engineering plastics can be utilized across many industries and applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAGRU has been in the United States for more than 35 years. In that time, we\u2019ve grown from a small operation into a multi-state, multi-site operation,\u201d said Robert L. Johnson, President\/CEO at AGRU America. \u201cThe Gruber family has led our family-owned business for three generations. They know the value of community engagement and have given AGRU America the mandate to launch new efforts in this area. We are thrilled by the wonderful reception by the P2PSC organizers and state officials and are proud of our team\u2019s execution of this outreach mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
