Space4U Podcast: Ed Rosenthal, Florikan Founder

In this episode:

We meet the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Florikan ESA, Ed Rosenthal.

Ed grew up on a farm in Canada, but the last thing he wanted to do was go into agriculture. In 1971, he found himself working for a polymer company in Canada, where he learned the ins and outs of its manufacturing, injection and molding processes.

Ed and his wife Betty founded Florikan ESA in 1982 and they set out to help growers and farmers make farming more efficient.
