End of another month

Wow, its getting really close to the end of another month here at ATS. Where does the time go? We are seeing many changes here at our facility and I'm sure there will be many more to come. With the coming month's end, we will be loosing a couple more employees and wish them well upon their separation. We are anxiously anticipating an upturn in the economy, along with the rest of the Nation. Some of us have never been through times like these and it is really something to live through. It makes us greatly appreciate having a job. So many of the wonderful people we work with will be leaving in April and hate to see many of them go. Lets all keep our nation in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for being a part of ATS!!

February 2009

Hello all you ATS employees and blog readers! WOW.. can you believe its already almost the middle of February? For those of you who dont know, there is a new employee discount for ATS employees. Its for "From You FLowers". Check out the link on the ATS homepage to get the code and the discounts and send a loved one something nice for Valentines day!! There are several discounts available to you and if you know of anything that you can get at a discounted rate, let us know to see if Corporate can contact them and make a deal.

There are many changes going on out here on the shop floor, but hang in there and keep your heads up and continue to give the excellent service you are becoming known for. Without you people out on the floor doing what you do, we cant do what we in the office do.

January 2009

Wow.. we are half way through the 1st month of the new year. We are continually focusing on Safety here at ATS and our CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT is of great importance. With all the changes going on right now there is not much to report, but we look forward to things bouncing back and having a long and continuous relationship with Caterpillar. Thank you all for your continued support and hard work!

2009

2009 has brought about many changes. With the changes come many things we do not like to face. We had to say goodbye to many people that were part of our ATS family for a few years, and some that had just joined recently. As we look to the future, we aspire to continue our proven work ethic and aspire to continue to show the customer that we are needed. It is thanks to each person here that we are still here, even in our minimal numbers.

With our Cultural Commitments that center around Continuous Improvement, we continue to grow and improve to continue to "make factories run better".

Christmas Party December 2008

Our company Christmas party was December 6, 2008 at The Beach House Restaurant. We had some great give away prizes and lots of good food and fellowship!

Pie In The Face Contest

As I promised, here are the pictures of the Pie in the Face contest that we did a fund raiser for the United Way. It got pretty messy here in our office. We have some really good sports who took a pie in the face to help a really good cause. Some people got the overspray of the pies when they were melting... like Ralph here in this first picture!

Christmas Party 2008

This year's Christmas Party is going to take place on December 6, 2008. It is going to be at the Beach House Restaurant. The arrival time is 6:30 and dinner will be served at 7:00. As soon as the menu is completely decided upon, I will be posting that here as well. This year is going to be a little different. I look forward to seeing you all there and enjoying a relaxing evening with you!
