    ROCKY HILL, Conn.--May 9, 2000--The sponsors of the "Designing With Plastics" seminar series have announced dates for the remaining four events scheduled during 2000, including a recently added event that will take place in Toronto, Canada.
    Sponsored by Loctite, GE Plastics, PPG Industries, Branson, and A-B Lasers, the Designing With Plastics seminars were developed to provide design, process, manufacturing and systems engineers with an understanding of plastic design, assembly, and decorating technology to help reinforce product quality and productivity.
