"Mike has left his indelible print on this Company's past and path into the future. A dedicated and talented employee, Michael demonstrated initiative, creativity and problem solving from the first day. His friendly wit, team oriented approach and leadership qualities made him a natural choice to accept increasing levels of responsibility within the Company. Over the past 20 years, he has overseen the facility expansions, machinery modernization and information technology advancements that have provide the assets to compete as a global supplier in the sheeting equipment market. But of greater importance has been Mike's commitment to fairness in relationships with fellow employees, suppliers and Customers. He is a man of integrity and I am pleased that I can continue to rely on his counsel as a member of the Company's Board."
