2007 News
2007 was a year of change for us. In order to facilitate continued growth, we decided to strategically separate our manufacturing and research & development operations. In June, 2007 we opened a research and development location in Ankeny. We also determined that we would need to move our manufacturing to a facility that would be more capable of growth. In November, 2007 we leased a manufacturing facility in Clarksville, Iowa. We spent the last quarter of 2007 training personnel and preparing for the move.
In December, 2007, we finalized negotiations to separate from Vibroacoustics Solutions, Inc. (VSI). While we were able to accomplish the goals set forth during the development process for the Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) grants, our visions for Creative Composites’ future were different. Effective December 31, 2007, Ken Budke, DDS, is the new majority shareholder of Creative Composites, Ltd.
