achievement in the classroom, leadership skills, and a commitment to community service. Since its inception in
1988, HCPA has awarded a total of $256,000 to 32 deserving recipients to pursue their collegiate studies.

news item from 1961 in its Berkshire Bygones column.
The caption reads “The Aerosol Packaging

the firm had made in recent years. Three hundred
and fifty staff were employed producing a third
of the UK’s aerosol products, making 100,000
containers per day and a yearly production of 25
million. The mechanization of the manufacturing
process was introduced in the late 1950s, when
the company was ‘hanging on like grim death.’”
The Aerosol Packaging Co. was one of the
founding members of the British Aerosol
Manufacturing Association (BAMA) in
1961, according to Patrick Heskins, BAMA Chief
Executive.
