Nordson has introduced their Replacement Parts Catalog featuring Yuengling on the cover! We noticed because we’re just a little into craft beer here.

Back to the catalog at hand, Nordson is launching their Replacement Parts for Adhesive Equipment Catalog. Inside you will find thousands of replacement parts for adhesive machinery. Did you know Nordson is the word leader in the packaging industry? Products you use everyday have most likely been sealed by Nordson machinery and adhesives.

Nordson is extending their brand by creating an online catalog utilizing Dirxion’s Compass product. You can use the filtered search to hone in on your exact needs, create an order list with the products you want and request a quote, all with a few clicks. Nordson even added a desktop shortcut option, so that your business needs are at your fingertips. Visit the Nordson Replacement Parts catalog and call Dirxion with any digital publishing needs!

We’re going gold around here! September is childhood cancer awareness month. Only 4% of federal funds are dedicated to childhood cancer research. Since 1980 fewer than 10 drugs have been developed for children with cancer. More needs to be done, these children are our future. It’s up to us to help! Let’s beat childhood cancer, raise awareness and give if you can.

Nick thought he was being sneaky by only giving me one photo use!

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I have an amazing wife, Julie, who puts up with me every day. And we have a beautiful baby girl, Annabelle.

How did you get started in production at Dirxion?
My Aunt Laura worked with Steve and Bruce at Southwestern Bell and after that, she started working at Dirxion. In 2004, I started off as summer help. A few years later, I started as full-time production.

What do you love most about working at Dirxion?
The awesome atmosphere around the office, Dirxion sports and fantastic health care.

What keeps you up at night?
Things that go bump in the night. (Ok, Nick is always trying to be the comedian at Dirxion {insert headshake}). All kidding aside, I sleep pretty well, occasionally Annabelle wakes us up. 

We try to stay active and fit here at Dirxion, what is your favorite workout to relieve stress?
I enjoy all of them! Although, I don’t play tennis due to softball being on the same day. If I had to choose, soccer is definitely my favorite Dirxion sport!

What do you like to do outside of work?
Spend time with my lovely wife and daughter. I like to play softball and occasionally brew beer when Julie allows 🙂 I also like to camp and fish.

What are you looking forward to most this year?
All of Annabelle’s firsts!

Just 15 years ago, FaucetDirect.com was created as a class project by Christian Friedland. This young company grew fast in all the right ways and ten years later Build.com was launched. This change was needed to reflect the diverse breadth of products offered. Now Build.com is the third largest online home improvement retailer!

Build.com was in need of a solution that would integrate well with their website and offer the necessary features for customers. Their digital catalog is nestled nicely in an iframe on their website. A few of the main features include bookmarks, e-commerce, search functionality and crop which all ensure that customers can track orders and learn how to build new projects. If you haven’t seen their catalog, it’s a must for homeowners. Their style and suggestions are classy and they have some really cool projects!

Recently, Mozilla released a new update with Adobe Flash disabled, by default. Flash had two unpatched hacking vulnerabilities. Abode rushed out an update and Mozilla re-enabled it, however, you get a warning message before it plays. Facebook’s CSO is calling for the end of Flash, while Google announced they would block auto-playing Flash elements with the new stable Chrome release. http://bit.ly/1HRewN4

How does this reflect on your digital publication? If your publication is vintage and still using Flash elements, it’s time for a change! We’re ahead of the game and have been for some time, creating digital publications in HTML5. HTML has been around for over 20 years, it allows us to embed video clips and other multimedia tools. One of the main benefits is that HTML5 does not require a plugin, it can run on any computer or mobile device. Don’t be limited with the use of Flash.

Take your digital publication to the next level and give users a full experience. Call our friendly sales team at 888.391.0202 or email at sales@dirxion.com and they can help get you started.

What keeps you up at night?

We try to stay active and fit here at Dirxion, what is your favorite workout to relieve stress?
Walking outside helps me clear my mind!

What do you like to do outside of work?
I LOVE being with my family. I LOVE going to the Lake of the Ozarks to enjoy our cabin that has been in our family for 50 years. And LOVE, LOVE my one and only six-month-old granddaughter, Mia Ann.

What are you looking forward to most this year?
Spending a lot of time with Mia Ann and watching her grow, taking her to the Zoo, Grant’s Farm and many more fun exciting things/places for her to enjoy. Also, looking forward to vacationing in Jamaica in October.
