Investing in Wellness: How Husky Technologies Supports Team Member Health Across the Globe
At Husky Technologies™, we believe that well-being drives performance. A healthy, supported team is essential to our mission of delivering the most comprehensive manufacturing solutions in the plastics industry. That’s why we’ve built wellness into the foundation of our workplace culture—starting with our on-site Wellness Center in Bolton and extending across all global campuses.
Wellness at Work: The Husky Way
Since the early 1990s, the Wellness Center at our Bolton, Canada campus has served as a trusted partner in our team members’ health journeys. Located in a 9,700 square-foot facility, the center offers:
- Medical services: First aid, consultations, injury care, and return-to-work support
- Allied health: Physiotherapy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and acupuncture
- Fitness and mental wellness programs: Weekly classes (yoga, spin, meditation, X-Fit), workshops, and personalized fitness consultations
But wellness at Husky isn’t limited to one location.
Wellness in Action: A Personal Story
The impact of the Wellness Center goes beyond services—it changes lives. Rob Pinet, a long-standing member of the Husky team and an avid cyclist, knows this firsthand. After experiencing a significant injury, Rob turned to the Wellness Center for treatment and support. The care he received helped him not only recover but stay active in both his role and personal passions.
Later, when Rob faced a serious health challenge, the Wellness team was once again by his side—coordinating workplace accommodations, sourcing key supplements, and ensuring he received full support through Husky’s benefit partners. His neurosurgeon was so impressed by the level of care provided at Husky that he personally commended the team.
“Without the Wellness Center family, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The support provided is unmatched at other large companies like ours,” Rob shared.
Rob’s story is a clear example of what wellness means at Husky: proactive care, personalized support, and a lasting commitment to our people.
A Global Commitment to Well-Being
From Shanghai to Luxembourg, team members across Husky benefit from a consistent and inclusive wellness strategy. Our initiatives include:
- 24/7 access to on-site gyms at major campuses
- Company-wide wellness challenges and group activities

This approach ensures every team member—regardless of location—has access to tools that support physical, mental, and emotional health.
Insights from the Inside: A Conversation with Kerri Del Medico
Kerri Del Medico, Wellness Center Coordinator, explains the broader vision:
“Our goal is to empower team members to take care of their whole selves—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. We offer everything from health screenings to meditation classes and scenic walking trails. Our programs are designed to be inclusive, flexible, and accessible to everyone.”
To keep programs relevant and impactful, the wellness team regularly incorporates feedback from employees and monitors health trends through both industry research and internal data. This feedback loop allows the team to respond to evolving needs, such as expanding mental health resources or introducing ergonomic assessments in manufacturing areas.
Real Impact: Everyday Outcomes of Wellness at Husky
The value of our wellness programs is reflected not only in services offered, but in how they shape daily life for our team members. From injury recovery that keeps people active, to mental health resources that offer essential support, our Wellness Centers make a measurable difference.
Whether it's a team member returning to work stronger after physiotherapy, building new healthy habits through our fitness challenges, or simply finding a sense of community in a weekly spin class—these moments are where wellness becomes real.
At Husky, we don’t just offer wellness. We live it—every day, across every campus.
