Company Culture & Our Community

Our focus on quality begins with each and every employee. Teamwork, open communications, and continual training give our employees the resources to be successful and fosters a rewarding and pleasant work environment. We encourage a life balance of work, family, fun and community involvement. See our News & Events page for information on our annual charity Golf Tournament and other community initiatives.

Open communication is facilitated by monthly employee meetings. Sales, quality, operations status and forecasts are presented and openly discussed. Employee achievements, birthdays and service anniversaries are recognized and awarded and new employees are introduced at each meeting.

An Activities Committee was formed in late 2006; it’s first task, the annual Christmas party which was a,” too-much tasty food, lots of gifts, lots of laughs and karaoke wailing” blast! This volunteer committee planned and hosted several activities in 2007 including Luncheons and Spirit events throughout the year, March Madness, 20th Anniversary Sign Unveiling, 4th of July Cook Out, Halloween Costume Contest, and the grand finale – Christmas Party. There were gifts for all. After a successful, first full year, the Activities committee had a schedule of events in place for 2008 and forged ahead, aiming to facilitate ongoing fun and festivities.
