Creating a Culture of Usefulness: Glenn Bostock | CEO & Founder of SnapCab

About the Speaker
Glenn Bostock’s story is one of remarkable success, shaped by his experiences with learning disabilities and adversity during his school years. Glenn went on to found SnapCab which manufactures simple-to-install elevator interiors and award-winning custom privacy pods.

Bostock’s unique philosophy of embracing failure and seeing challenges as opportunities for growth has been instrumental in creating the workplace environment he has built. His ability to foster a culture that follows the company’s values of being kind, authentic, and useful has helped propel SnapCab’s impressive growth and success across two manufacturing facilities located in the United States and Canada.

Doing More With a Smaller Carbon Footprint

Join EMC to explore how today’s manufacturers can lead the charge toward a sustainable and profitable future. This session will provide an overview of the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities for sustainable, greener manufacturing and clean technology adoption, drawing from EMC’s research and real-world case studies.

RXN Hub – An Overview

RXN HUB is a not-for-profit organization that supports the scale-up and manufacturing of chemical technologies. Located in a newly renovated, near-net-zero facility in Kingston, Ontario, RXN HUB provides custom-built infrastructure and innovation consulting support to validate processes, optimize production, and prepare chemical technologies for full-scale deployment to enable national economic growth. With a network of over 100 project delivery partners, RXN HUB ensures innovators have access to the resources, relationships, capital, and infrastructure they need to bring new technologies to market—all in one place. Our Executive Director, Morgan Lehtinen, is excited to participate in EMC’s regional Manufacturing Excellence Forum to engage with consortium members, strengthen collaborations with the manufacturing community and ultimately expand market opportunities and increase our domestic capacity.
