I toured the Greneker Solutions factory in south Los Angeles yesterday. Greneker is doing amazing things with their fiberglass free "soy-systems" plastics. Originally entering the visual merchandising industry as a mannequin fabricator in the 1930s, the company now generates a wide range of forms and interior displays though their staple still seems to be mannequins. I snapped a photo of a scale model of the Sci Fi exhibition space design by LA-based Graft Architecture. Also in production at the time of my visit were several display panels for a DC shoes store in SOHO. Soy Systems so not use petroleum derivatives or fiberglass and can be rotation molded (rotation in three dimensions evenly distributes the plastic along walls of a mold) to create large hollow forms.
