By Brittney Sherman

In 1972 Scott Unger’s first composite company was renamed TenCate Advanced Composites and in 2000 they opened their manufacturing facility in Morgan Hill. In 2018 the company was acquired by Toray Industries Inc. Today, Toray Advanced Composites is a leading supplier to the aerospace industry, providing advanced thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials to produce lightweight structures for the latest generation of commercial, general aviation, military and unmanned aircraft. They are the leading global supplier of thermoset prepregs for out-of-autoclave (OOA)/vacuum-bag-only (VBO) applications and their Toray Cetex® brand is a leader in thermoplastic prepregs for the aerostructures market. Additionally, as the leading supplier of composite materials to the satellite, space exploration and launch industries, Toray’s CCS Group provides the industry with exceptionally durable and light weight carbon fiber compression molded parts.

Sushi Confidential Opens in Morgan Hill

By Brittney Sherman

On Sunday April 10th, Sushi Confidential opened their doors in Morgan Hill. This is the 3rd restaurant location for owner/operator Sushi Randy who has restaurants in Campbell and San Jose, in addition to concession pop-ups at the SAP Shark Tank, Shoreline Amphitheatre and the Plex. Sushi Randy spent 12 years as a cancer researcher by day and a Sushi Chef by night, before taking the leap to open his first Sushi Confidential in 2012. The name “Sushi Confidential” is based on the private underground sushi dinners he would host in his house three nights a week. The menu was always sushi and the dinner was always confidential. Randy is passionate about sustainable fishing, community fundraising and sushi education. Make your way to Sushi Confidential for unique cocktails, award-winning sushi and local wine.
