The Hoffer family of Hoffer Plastics Corp. in South Elgin will be featured at the next Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce CEO Unplugged-All in the Family, sponsored by the Grand Victoria Casino.<\/p>\r\n

The luncheon will be held Tuesday, March 20, at the Grand Victoria Casino pavilion, 250 S. Grove in the Fox River Room on the second floor, at 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\r\n

Members of the Hoffer family who will share their leadership styles include Bill Hoffer, president; Charlotte Canning, vice president of brand and culture; Alex Hoffer, vice president of business development; and Gretchen Farb, vice president of value creation.<\/p>\r\n

Hoffer was founded in South Elgin by the late Robert A. Hoffer, a chemist, in 1953. He acquired a used molding machine to start his first product — a screw that advanced the material in stick deodorants.<\/p>\r\n

A global leader in custom injection molding, Hoffer Plastics leads in customer and employee satisfaction and charitable giving. From its founder to current executive leadership, it has been the goal of Hoffer to provide turnkey solutions and state-of-the-art technology to its customers.<\/p>\r\n

For many Americans, President Donald Trump’s trade war may soon get very real.<\/p>\n

His administration is preparing to extend 25% tariffs to practically all Chinese imports not already hit with duties, including toys, sneakers, shirts, alarm clocks, toasters and coffeemakers. That’s roughly $300 billion worth of products on top of the $250 billion targeted earlier.<\/p>\n

“The administration’s decision to announce a tax on every product coming from China puts America’s entire economy at risk,” the Retail Industry Leaders Association said in a statement. “Americans’ entire shopping cart will get more expensive.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"tpl-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"yoast_head":"\nHoffer Family Speaks at Elgin Chamber\u2019s CEO Unplugged Event<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hoffer family\u2014Bill, Alex, Gretchen, and Charlotte\u2014share leadership insights at Elgin Area Chamber\u2019s \u201cCEO Unplugged \u2013 All in the Family.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hoffer family to speak at Elgin chamber event\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hoffer family\u2014Bill, Alex, Gretchen, and Charlotte\u2014share leadership insights at Elgin Area Chamber\u2019s \u201cCEO Unplugged \u2013 All in the Family.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hoffer Plastics\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-02T13:35:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-08T16:29:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/hoffer-family.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"835\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"558\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Hoffer Team\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Hoffer Team\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/\",\"name\":\"Hoffer Family Speaks at Elgin Chamber\u2019s CEO Unplugged Event\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/hoffer-family.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-03-02T13:35:28+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-08-08T16:29:59+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/#\/schema\/person\/496d9e98bf40af1468b4ffd5066dda77\"},\"description\":\"Hoffer family\u2014Bill, Alex, Gretchen, and Charlotte\u2014share leadership insights at Elgin Area Chamber\u2019s \u201cCEO Unplugged \u2013 All in the Family.\u201d\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/press-release\/hoffer-family-to-speak-at-elgin-chamber-event\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/hoffer-family.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/hofferplastics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/hoffer-family.jpg\",\"width\":835,\"height\":558,\"caption\":\"Hoffer Plastics Corp. family members, from left, Bill Hoffer, Alex Hoffer, Gretchen Farb and Charlotte Canning, will talk about their different leadership styles at the Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce \\\"CEO Unplugged-All in the Family\\\" Tuesday, March 20.
