The day started off early at 7:30 when we traveled to the train station. From there we boarded a train to Milano. In Milano we toured Sacmi, a plastics company in the area. The tour was great. Many of us were impressed by several things throughout the tour and also the hospitality of the employees. We got to explore the many machines they make, as well as the processes they are used for. For some of us this was the first realization that plastics is really a global industry. Some of the processes we saw at Sacmi are the same we use in Penn State Behrend's labs. After the long train ride back to Florence, we relaxed with a dinner provided by the hostel.
Below are a couple of group pictures, outside and inside the Sacmi plant.
