The company’s flagship brand\, Deka\, was born just a year later through a partnership with engineer Karl Gasche—its name a creative portmanteau of “DeLight” and “Karl.” Over the decades\, the business transitioned from a local rebuilder to a global powerhouse\, remaining a family-owned entity that now operates one of the world’s largest single-site battery manufacturing complexes in Lyons Station\, PA. Today\, the Deka brand is synonymous with diverse energy storage solutions\, ranging from automotive and marine batteries to massive industrial power systems\, all while maintaining a pioneering focus on closed-loop recycling and environmental sustainability. \nWhere: East Penn Manufacturing (102 Deka Rd.\, Lyon Station\, PA 19536)\nWhen: Wednesday\, March 18th\n5:15 – 5:30 PM Arrival\n5:45 – 7:00 PM Intro\, presentation and plant tour\n7:00 PM Final questions an wrap up\n7:00PM-8:00PM Optional post-event networking at Snuzzles* *Cost for dinner/drinks not by PSPE\nCost: PSPE Member $0\nRSVP by: Friday March 27th to Ben Foster at: vfc.pspe@gmail.com\nOr directly on PSPE VFC Facebook Event *Limit – 50 people maximum URL:https://pspe.org/event/pspe-valley-forge-chapter-east-penn-manufacturing-tour/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260318T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260318T193000 DTSTAMP:20260311T184554Z CREATED:20260311T184554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T184554Z UID:11650-1773855000-1773862200@pspe.org SUMMARY:Bucks Chapter - Dinner Meeting DESCRIPTION:PSPE-BCC-Meeting_Notice-18Mar2026 \nDinner Meeting & Presentation\nWednesday – March 18th\, 2026\nPresentation by: Gabe Lederman – OldCastle InfraStructures\nTopic: Innovative Stormwater BMP Design with Oldcastle Infrastructure.Continuing Education Credits: 1.0 PDH Your certificate will be issued at the conclusion of the presentation.

That which we call a rose\, by any other name\, would smell just as sweet.” Your pronouns are as unique as your fingerprints and as important as your name\, they represent who you are and assist in understanding and distinguishing people. Depending on your familiarity with using different pronouns it may feel confusing or hard to know where to begin. Attend this virtual session to learn about the basics of pronoun use\, how to respectfully ask someone their pronouns\, best practices\, and how to be a supportive ally. \nSpeakers: Carol Martsolf\, PE\, PMP\, ENV SP\, CPTD\, LEED AP; Cory Wyffels\, P.E. \nRegister Now URL:https://pspe.org/event/back-to-basics-the-use-of-pronouns/ LOCATION:Virtual END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241017T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241017T190000 DTSTAMP:20240904T115737Z CREATED:20240904T115737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T115737Z UID:10891-1729188000-1729191600@pspe.org SUMMARY:Harvest Moon Aquaponics Facility and Masano Car Museum DESCRIPTION:Harvest Moon Aquaponics Facility and Masano Car Museum\nRSVP to: Lisa Peterson at lpeterson@aftan.com or 610-914-1356 by Friday\, October 11\, 2024. \nCertificate of Attendance: If requested\, a certificate of attendance for 1 PDH will be emailed following the tour. The sign-in sheet on the day of the event will have a column to check for PEs requesting a certificate of attendance. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nTo learn about the science of aquaponics from fish health to plant growth.\nTo learn about various aquaponic system designs.\nTo learn about the challenges of an aquaponics facility operation.\n\nAn optional after-tour gathering will take place at the Liberty Tap Room on Lancaster Avenue in Shillington for continued dialog and opportunity for Q&A with those involved in the project and with fellow tour attendees.

Harvest Moon Aquaponics got its start when Masano’s daughter wanted to pursue a project for the Reading Berks Science and Engineering Fair in Aquaponics. Her project evolved into a fully functioning aquaponic facility with fish tanks in one room and a growing room next door\, including pumps\, filters\, hydroponic beds\, monitoring systems\, and water testing. Following the tour of Harvest Moon\, tour participants will have the opportunity to walk through the massive indoor auto storage facility and museum of high-end new\, classic\, and antique vehicles.
