Local landmark Park Lanes reopened in November after an 18-month hiatus.
Mansfield contractor Ron Speck bought the old bowling center on Park Avenue for less than $200,000 and reopened all 50 lanes. He wanted the facility to retain the name it's had since it opened in 1959.
Park Lanes has been an institution in the city since the late Brad Lewis built it into a state-of-the-art facility in the 1950s. The Lewis family sold it to owners who lived out of state a few years ago, but financial trouble hindered the center and it soon fell into disrepair and closed.
Under Speck's management, there have been many changes. The old pool room area has been turned into a conference and party area. A coffee shop and deli will open in the spring, along with two outdoor sand volleyball courts. The bar has been refurbished and renamed Lewis Lounge after founder Brad Lewis.
Speck also has stepped up security.
"I am really dedicated to making this a 100 percent safe environment -- inside and out," Speck said. "What we need in Mansfield is more family entertainment."
Located in Lexington, Next Generation Films is one of America's leading manufacturers of plastic film and bags in the flexible packaging industry.
Founded in 1994 by CEO David Frecka and housed in one plant, Next has evolved into a four-building, 350,000 square-foot campus on Lexington Industrial Drive. Next employs 150 people and has annual revenues of $100 million.
Next produces flexible packaging for bagged lettuce and produce, paper towel overwrap, dry goods overwrap and frozen foods. Next also produces, among other items, protective packaging, mailers and masking film.
Frecka said he differentiates himself and his company by focusing on quality and specialization. He has continuously focused on the reduction of production scrap and alternative uses for it. To this end, he has made equipment design changes, initiated a repelletizing program to sell recycled scrap, provided endless employee training and tracking and developed a method to reuse other recycled scrap-based resins within new products -- without sacrificing quality or efficiency.
Another factor in Next's success has been its constantly-evolving film recipes.We are professional plasticmould,metal parts mould manufacturers and factory Next has based its business on solving other's plastic film and bag conversion problems. As a result, Next has an extensive collection of unique film recipes evolving by the day.
Next maintains its own in-house lab designed to test new products as well as inspect the quality of current production. It tests every piece of film produced to ensure maximum quality. It is one of the only manufacturers to produce FDA-approved films for use with edible food items.
By 2015, Frecka expects Next's revenues to double to around $200 million.
Rable Machine has been in business in Mansfield for over 60 years and is 100 percent employee-owned. Over the past several years the firm has grown an average of 20 percent per year and has invested over $6.5 million in capital equipment and improvements. A significant portion of these improvements have been in new, state-of-the-art equipment. That has allowed Rable to dramatically expand capacity and significantly improve quality.
Rable's products are used in fluid management systems, flow control, industrial automation, network power systems, climate control systems, oil and gas transmission, petrochemical and petroleum refining, medical devices and other industrial high tech innovations.
Other industries served include aviation, aerospace, telecommunications, banking, printing, defense and other applications.
In a time when having inventory on the shelf is almost unheard of, Rable stocks parts for customers and ships or delivers frequently. Company officials call the process "52 Turn" service because it provides customers the opportunity to conserve cash by turning inventory up to 52 times a year.
