| November 1, 2008 CMT Participates in Operation: Weatherization |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| On November 1, a team from Comfort Motion Technologies joined other
Anderson Community leaders in Operation: Weatherization. The event was
sponsored by the United Way of Madison County and Job Source. The CMT
team members included Tom Epply, Alan Rowley and Chris Meyer. Operation: Weatherization is a day dedicated to preparing 51 homes for the cold temperatures ahead by applying energy-saving techniques throughout the home. Activities included installing air filters, plastic over the windows, insulation, energy-saving light bulbs and smoke detectors. Tom Epply of CMT commented, "It was really great to be able to help out families that are very much in need." CMT's Vehicle Seat Multi-Position Software enhances the ergonomic value and function of existing power seat applications and automates subtle changes in the seat position, redistributing the occupant's weight. This reduces the occupant's stress load and relieves the pain caused by muscle fatigue and compression. Based in Anderson, Indiana, Comfort Motion Technologies' mission is "Enhancing People's Lifestyles Through Innovative Technology." |
