🎓 Engineering Internship Spotlight 🎓
This summer, Ironwood Plastics was proud to welcome engineering student Ethan Ruckert as part of our Summer 2026 Internship Program!
Throughout his internship, Ethan gained hands-on experience across a variety of departments, learning how each team contributes to the manufacturing process. From production and quality to tooling, processing, automation, design, and manufacturing engineering, he had the opportunity to see the entire operation in action and develop a deeper understanding of the plastics industry.
During the second half of the summer, Ethan worked alongside Brian Nurmela on a cell design project, applying engineering concepts in a real manufacturing environment while building valuable technical and problem-solving skills. He wrapped up his internship by presenting what he learned and sharing his project experience with our team.
We are grateful for Ethan’s hard work, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn throughout the summer. We wish him all the best as he continues his engineering education and look forward to seeing what the future holds for him!

🌎🥫 Making a Difference Beyond Our Walls
At Ironwood Plastics, we believe that strong communities are built through service, compassion, and partnership.
As part of our Fun in the Workplace initiative, our team in Two Rivers embraced the theme "Earth Day: Feed a Hungry World" by organizing a food drive to support the Two Rivers Ecumenical Pantry (TREP). Employees came together to donate non-perishable food items that will help local families facing food insecurity in our community.
We're proud of our team members for turning a workplace activity into an opportunity to give back. Whether it's volunteering, supporting local organizations, or lending a helping hand to neighbors in need, community involvement remains an important part of who we are.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this effort a success. Together, we can make a meaningful impact—one act of kindness at a time.

Active employees Chris Golembeski, Jeff Grage, John Wilczewski, and Jake Zielinski, along with long-time retired employee Randy Ahnen, represented our community with pride as part of Marty’s Goldenaires.
