Embolden Design creates Web site for public television

PAWTUCKET – Embolden Design, a Web development and consulting firm, has created two Web sites to support a television series that will air nationally on public television this fall. The series, “The College Track: America’s Sorting Machine,” is presented by WETA, Washington, D.C., and distributed by American Public Television.



The production and national engagement campaign was developed and produced by Roundtable Inc., a production company based in Waltham, Mass., which specializes in using national media broadcasts to engage local communities.



The College Track, which began airing on Sept. 3, is a three-part documentary that shakes up notions of who is “college material.” Embolden produced the official program Web site for WETA and another site for the show’s national engagement campaign, an outreach effort that will launch in conjunction with the series broadcast.



These sites can be found at www.thecollegetrack.com and http://outreach.thecollegetrack.com, respectively.


TPI acquired by Landmark Patrners and senior management



WARREN – TPI Composites, a manufacturer of large-scale, structural composite products, has been acquired by Landmark Growth Capital Partners and by members of the TPI senior management team from True North Partners.



The acquired business also includes the company’s interest in VienTek, a joint venture that produces wind turbine blades, as well as its patented SCRIMP technology and a portfolio of licensing agreements. TPI said it will maintain its development and manufacturing facility in Warren and plans to maintain its development and manufacturing capacity in Warren and plans to build additional manufacturing facilities.



The company’s marine business, which builds J Boats, Pearson Yachts and Alerion sailboats, has been spun out into a separate company, Pearson Composites.
