Current Attempt in Progress

Mike Cichanowski founded Wenonah Canoe and later purchased Current Designs, a company that designs and manufactures kayaks.

The kayak$-$manufacturing facility is located just a few minutes from the canoe company's headquarters in Winona, Minnesota.

Current Designs makes kayaks using two different processes. The rotational molding process uses high temperature to melt

polyethylene powder in a closed rotating metal mold to produce a complete kayak hull and deck in a single piece. These kayaks are less

labor$-$intensive and less expensive for the company to produce and sell.

Its other kayaks use the vacuum$-$bagged composite lamination process $($which we will refer to as the composite process$).$ Layers of

fiberglass or Kevlar ${?}^2$ are carefully placed by hand in a mold and are bonded with resin. Then, a high$-$pressure vacuum is used to

eliminate any excess resin that would otherwise add weight and reduce the strength of the finished kayak. These kayaks require a

great deal of skilled labor as each boat is individually finished. The exquisite finish of the vacuum$-$bagged composite kayaks gave rise to

Current Designs' tag line, "A work of art, made for life."

Current Designs has the following managers:

Mike Cichanowski, CEO

Diane Buswell, Controller

Deb Welch, Purchasing Manager

Bill Johnson, Sales Manager

Dave Thill, Kayak Factory Manager

Rick Thrune, Production Manager for Composite Kayaks
