Title: Ebonite International to be featured on Discovery Channel
Post by: Amazing on January 15, 2008, 05:28:28 AM
Ebonite International's manufacturing facility in Hopkinsville, Ky., will once again be featured on the Discovery Channel. Last August, Brian Unger and Lou Bloomfield, hosts of a brand new show on The Discovery Channel titled "Some Assembly Required," took a hands-on tour of the plant and spent three days filming the ball manufacturing process from research and development to the actual use of the finished product on the lanes.

This time the show will be featured on a new Discovery Channel show called Some Assembly Required which airs tonight.

"This is the second time within a year that our brands have been highlighted for its processes and manufacturing capabilities and it gets more exciting every time," said Brenda Green, marketing services manager for Ebonite International. "To know that our everyday work is being recognized and that our sport is getting the national attention it deserves it fantastic."


Ebonite International was first profiled on The History Channel's "Modern Marvels" series in January 2007.


AIR DATES

Tuesday, January 15 at 10 p.m. eastern

Saturday, January 19 at 8 p.m. eastern (episode re-airs)

I thought that was pretty cool.  Even better than the Modern Marvels thing.
