I work for Honeywell International in their Specialty Materials division. Which is a sugar coated way of saying I work in a chemical plant. The location was originally owned by Allied Chemical who later became Allied Signal who then merged with Honeywell to become Honeywell International. The plant I work at produces various types of nylon resins which are delivered in chip form. I have been at this location for almost 30 years and have held quite a few positions during my tenure here. I have produced nylon fiber for tire cord, seat belts, auto air bags and mostly carpet fiber.
I have also worked in plastics compounding where we have produced specialty plastics for fuel tanks, intake manifolds, power tool casings and an almost endless list of smaller applications. I presently work in Recycle and Recovery operations where we reprocess the water used through distillation and recover any residual lactam (nylon's raw material) and protect against contamination to our enviroment. I work rotating shifts and double shifts so it has been demanding at times but it has paid the bills and provided good benefits. Hopefully I will be able to retire and work part time in another 5 years.

Tbat, that sounds interesting, right up my alley! My college background was in manufacturing engineering and I love working in plants.

Now, I work for HP. I manage all of the logistics/shipping accounts for the repairs in the US.

No, I can't get anyone a discount, but if you have questions about products, I can assist.

Hey Brown, I worked for UPS during Christmas time for 7 days. I worked unloading from 1am-9am 3 days. Between four guys, we unloaded 28 tractor trailors and once the gate opened boxes poored out. That was back breaking work especially just going straight in and not use to the work hours. Then the last four days I was at the end of the belt line and received all the packages the others couldn't feed off, wrong addresses, and the five trucks I had to load with one other dude. Both tasks were insane!
