Gregstrom Wins ARM Safety Award
Plastics manufacturer earns Safety Recognition Award from worldwide trade association
Woburn, Mass. – November 26, 2019 – Gregstrom Corporation, a rotational molder and custom plastic thermoformer, has received a Safety Recognition Award from the Association of Rotational Molders (ARM), a worldwide trade association with member companies in 58 countries.
Clark Boyce, Vice President of Sales, received the award on behalf of Gregstrom during a recent ARM ceremony. The purpose of the Safety Recognition Award is to highlight the importance of safety in all aspects of the rotational molding industry and to recognize the rotational molder with the lowest incident rate.
To participate in this contest, ARM members submitted a copy of a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report called OSHA Form 300A: Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. In 2018, Gregstrom reported zero recorded occurrences for three categories: number of cases, number of days, and injury and illness types.
ARM presented Safety Recognition Awards to companies with less than 50 employees, and to companies or branches with 50 employees or more. Gregstrom had an average of 64 employees in 2018.
“We are honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Jeff DiDonato, Gregstrom’s President. “Our commitment to safety underscores our commitment to our employees and is one of the things that makes Gregstrom a great place to work and to do business with.”

He joined ARM while at Bayhead but deepened his involvement at Gregstrom. He joined several committees, served on the Board of Directors, and was named President of the Association from 2001 to 2002.
