Strongwell’s Mya E. recently volunteered at the Bristol Chamber of Commerce second annual Youth Summit, hosted at King University in Bristol, Tennessee.
Students from John Battle High School, Virginia High School, Tennessee High School, and West Ridge High School attended the event. During a series of roundtable discussions, Mya shared her professional journey, including her decision to return to the Bristol area after graduating from college. Mya was tasked by the organizers with providing students some perspective on professional and business ethics within her current role at Strongwell.
Mya and other regional professionals rotated among student groups to discuss effective communication, critical thinking in the workplace, personal finance, business ethics, and civic engagement. Students also reflected on the qualities employers value, including strong attendance, professional appearance, and being fully present at work.
Thanks to Mya for sharing her experience and investing in the next generation of our community’s workforce.

HS Armor Panels are used for more than military applications.

At a Georgia public defender’s office, contractors installed Strongwell’s 1/2-inch fiberglass armor panels much like drywall. The panels were finished with drywall compound, sanded, and painted to create a smooth wall surface while adding another layer of protection.

See how HS Armor Panels were incorporated into the building:

Strongwell team members put a little extra spirit into Halloween by assembling hundreds of treat bags for their coworkers. Working together, they packed the bags with goodies to share a seasonal thank-you across the team.
Preparing that many treats took teamwork, with team members helping fill bags and get them ready for distribution. The effort offered a fun opportunity to come together and do something thoughtful for the people they work alongside each day.

Annual maintenance was not enough to prevent these residential wood decks from developing decay, warping, and splintered boards.

For two recent projects in the Southeastern United States, homeowners replaced the failing decks with the STRONGDEK® Structural Composite Decking System. Its patented design combines a structural FRP plank with a snap-on vinyl hybrid composite top cap.

The homeowners selected after comparing premium hardwood and other composite options. They cited its appearance, strength, straightforward installation, simpler maintenance, and lifetime residential warranty.

See how STRONGDEK delivered lasting aesthetics for these outdoor spaces:https://www.strongwell.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/1403-Residential-Home-Decking.pdf

This week's sector suggested read focuses on how large-scale additive manufacturing has moved from the laboratory to open water.

The University of Maine recently launched 3Dirigo X, a 30-foot, high-performance, 3D-printed composite boat designed for offshore conditions and speeds approaching 40 knots.

Built at UMaine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center, the vessel demonstrates how digital manufacturing could help shorten production timelines, reduce the need for specialized molds, and make design changes easier. Researchers emphasized that continued testing will be important to evaluate long-term performance, repeatability, inspection, and affordability.

It is an exciting development to watch for the future of composites and maritime manufacturing.
