1. Opening Hook

While most companies blamed rain for poor sales, Mold-Tek managed to find salvation in plastic tubes. As the skies poured, pharma packaging rained profits. When the paint business dried up, bottles and caps came to the rescue—divine diversification, if you will.
As the Bhagavad Gita says, “In the heart of action, find stillness.” Mold-Tek found it—in pharma margins.
Stick around; it gets juicier than their yogurt tubs.
