Nylonge Employees Raise Aid For Katrina Relief

On Thursday, September 22, 2005, employees of the Nylonge Company in Elyria delivered a check for $2200 to the Lorain County Chapter of the American Red Cross. This was the result of a challenge by the company to employees that it would match any amount the employees raised. Both came through for the effort, with employees raising $1100 and the company matching it.

Employee representative, Shonda Smith said, “I felt it was my duty to help out because I had family personally involved with Hurricane Katrina. I was pleased by the gracious contributions from employees.” Mike Vezina, production foreman, said, “The money was donated for a good cause. I also had family in the effected area.”

Nylonge Corporation is located on Lowell St. in Elyria, Ohio. Nylonge has been a manufacturer of cellulose sponge products since 1951 and has been a part of Lorain County since 1989. Its bulk and prepackaged sponge products are distributed and sold throughout the world.
