3D glasses to be made in Shamokin; global demand will produce 100 jobs here

Daiily Item, 3/18/2010
Shamokin’s D/E Associates could hire up to 100 people by year’s end thanks to a project that will eventually produce at least 1.5 million pairs of 3-D glasses monthly, reports the Daily Item.

The good economic news for a city that two years ago sought help from the state to reverse its growing debt comes through D/E's partnership with 3D Global Glasses LLC, a New Jersey-based company that next week will promote its new, 100-percent recyclable plastic glasses at the ShoWest trade show in Las Vegas.

"In the next six months, we should be very close to that 100 (employees) number," said George DeLellis, project manager and secretary-treasurer for D/E. "We have to capture the market and ride the wave as it's forming."
