“Our focus on cost control and capital improvements has resulted in eleven consecutive quarters of sustained profitability,” said George Usher, President and CEO of Polydex. “And now, with fewer production issues, we are turning our attention to conservation of utilities, an increasing and significant part of our overhead. Assisted by Partners in Project Green, a local organization, we have been introduced to consultants that suggest an investment of about $80,000.00 could provide savings of about $80,000 per year. Our sales are growing, our expenses are shrinking, and our balance sheet has a strong cash position. We’re happy about that and optimistic for the company’s future.”
