As editor of Packaging injection molder Plastican Inc. recently received the Pro Patria Award from the Georgia Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (GA ESGR), an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. The company was recognized for "exceptional support" of its employees who work at Plastican's manufacturing facility in Macon, Ga., and serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
At the awards banquet in Atlanta, Admiral (Ret.) James McGarrah, chairman of the GA ESGR group, said the award is presented annually to Georgia employers "who have provided the most exceptional support of our national defense through leadership practices and personnel policies that support their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve."
Congratulations to Leominster, Mass.-based Plastican, and to all the other employers that support their workers who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
