This year s class of Plastics Hall of Fame inductees have all traveled to dozens of countries and many were still on the move even as they have entered retirement.
They flew for work, trade shows, conferences, speeches and pleasure. That is, until early 2020 when they were put on house arrest, as Vince Witherup said during a recent interview with
Plastics News.
The coronavirus pandemic grounded or reduced most airline travel, which was one of the reasons the Plastics Academy Hall of Fame ceremony was delayed alongside NPE2021. The ceremony will now take place in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Oct. 7 during the Plastics Industry Association s annual meeting and fall conference. All inductees intend to make the trip.
Witherup s work ethic turned Conair international

When Vince Witherup joined Conair Group, the company was only making about $1 million a year in sales, but when he retired in 2007 it was making $160 million per year.
Regardless of the clock, Vince Witherup worked.
It wasn t something he dreaded, it was something called work ethic. He learned the value of hard work early in life.
From humble beginnings in Franklin, Pa., Witherup molded himself a career after working from the age of 8. He put Conair Group on the map. He served two terms as a local county commissioner.
Witherup is also one of 10 inductees to the 2021 Plastics Hall of Fame, presented by the Plastics Academy.
