Kevin Miller was able to get a few of the speakers and customers into Insight, an OEM that manufactures thermal and infrared vision systems for military and commercial use. This gave us the opportunity to see DuPont materials in flexible printed circuits made by one of our Mountain View customers assembled inside the systems used by our military. We were all glad to participate in the tour of Insight before the seminars. Insight is our neighbor in Londonderry so that made the tour even more rewarding to see how our neighbor is helping our business and visa versa.

A special thanks to Chris Hunrath for organizing the seminars, to our branch offices for hosting and coordinating the event and to our guest speakers whom we owe thanks to for the content.
