As a career change, Daniel got involved with plant management of several custom vacuum forming companies in the New York metropolitan area. At one point he was a Vice President of Tiger Plastics, a custom former, and at the same time he was a sales engineer with KSH plastics, working with lighting specifiers in New York, and later on in other cities on the east coast of the United States.
In 1956, Sol Robinson, Daniel Lewis, and Irvin Rubin incorporated Robinson, Lewis and Rubin, "RLR", in New York City. The first physical incarnation consisted of two separate plants in lower Manhattan's Chinatown district and we would have to transport sheets back and forth on the sidewalk from our stock to our forming and fabrication areas.
