PDX Wraps Creates Another Custom Wrap for Albina Co.'s Conference Room Makeover
PDX Wraps Creates Another Custom Wrap for Albina Co.'s Conference Room Makeover

We have to send another shout out to PDX Wraps for creating another custom wrap for our recent conference room makeover. PDX Wraps offers full service design, print and install for personal and commercial projects. They also offer products for paint protection, watercraft and other custom wraps. Earlier this year, we used PDX Wraps to wrap the exterior and interior of our brand new mezzanine lunch room. Such a cool product!

OUR TEAM'S LINE-UP HAS CHANGED A BIT

With every new year comes change and this new year we have a few announcements about some changes to our Albina team.

MEET BEN INGERSOLL: ALBINA'S NEW TRAFFIC & PURCHASING MANAGER. We are pleased to introduce the newest member of our Albina team, Ben Ingersoll, who is joining us Monday January 13th as our new Traffic & Purchasing Manager. Ben will be relocating to our Tualatin, Oregon headquarters from Northern California. Ben brings a lot of purchasing and shipping experience with him and he is going to be a great fit to the Albina team. You can contact Ben at 503-692-6010 or email bingersoll@albinaco.com.

Ben will be replacing Jason Orefice who is transitioning into a new position on the Estimating and Project Management side of the business. Jason will be a perfect fit with our Sales and Estimating team and will be able to provide invaluable support to our customer base.  Jason’s contact information will not be changing and he can be reached at jason@albinaco.com.

In addition, VP of Sales, Stuart Hasman, will be retiring at the end of this month. We want to thank Stu for his many years of service to our organization and we wish Stu and his family the best of luck in retirement. He will be missed! If you have any needs that require the attention of a Territory Manager/VP of Sales, please feel free to contact Brad Lund (blund@albinaco.com). You may have already talked with Brad as he has been with us for 14 years and has a vast knowledge of our capabilities, your region and the services we offer. If you have worked with Brad in the past then you are already familiar with his outstanding reputation and dedication to quality customer service.  

We are confident that these changes will help better serve your needs as our company and your business continue to grow.
Thank you for your continued support, we are excited to see what 2020 brings!

Grand Opening! State Of the Art Lunchroom at Albina Co., Inc.
Grand Opening! State Of the Art Lunchroom at Albina Co., Inc.

As we near the end of our 80th Anniversary celebration, and during this holiday season of Thanksgiving, we wanted to give a special "Thank You" to our employees and provide them with a modern, state of the art, relaxing place for them to enjoy breaks and lunch together. We decided to create an elevated lunchroom up on our mezzanine level, giving the employees a retreat away from the production floor and opening up more production space below the mezzanine. This new production space opens up many opportunities for new equipment and capacities, just like the DAVI MAV K30 Plate Roll we just purchased! More information to come on that next month.
Jackson-Barrett Construction did an amazing job on the project! They were professional and efficient and produced an extremely high quality room for us. With their help, we also commissioned a local company called PDX Wraps to create custom wall wraps for both the exterior and interior of the room. Such a cool product!
In addition, we surveyed our crew to find out what was most important to them when creating this new space. Items included cell phone and laptop charging stations, multiple microwaves and refrigerators, and ergonomic chairs.

Happy Father's Day

I'm proud of my hard work. Working hard won't always lead to the exact things we desire. There are many things I've wanted that I haven't always gotten. But, I have a great satisfaction in the blessings from my mother and father, who instilled a great work ethic in me both personally and professionally. -Tamron Hall

Father's Day is upon us! Father's Day is particularly important to me as I lost my father, Bill, over 8 years ago, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him or get a reminder of him while at work. It can be a phone call from someone in the industry who used to work with him, it can be an old quote I see come across my desk with his name on it, it can be my daily rounds through the shop where I can still see him problem solving with a machine operator on a particularly challenging job. Whatever it may be, I always remind myself that I am a representative of the Smith Family and the steel bending business that my grandfather and father helped to build. Jaime and I have been building on their values for many, many years now and feel great about where we have been able to take the business. All three generations have worked in both the shop and office during our careers. A fourth generation spends their summers pulling weeds, washing windows and doing database entry in their spare time. We have four generations of family who believe in the steel industry and believe in the value of hard work. I have no idea if my son and daughter will be interested in taking over the family business some day, but if they do, I am confident that they will work hard, be honest and carry on the traditions we have lived by for the last 80 years! I am a proud business owner and a proud Father. Happy Father's Day to all you Father's out there!
