FALL/WINTER 2011

T&B's Hager City, Wis., steel structures manufacturing facility celebrated 40 years of continuous operation this past summer and, while that was significant, it was equaled by the marking of a major safety milestone – 500 days without a lost-time accident.

"Our 40 years of success has been achieved by our dedicated team of employees," said Jeff Boigenzahn, facility manager, Hager City. "And through those 40 years, safety has been our number one goal. Through hard work and team work, it is with great pride that I thank our employees for accomplishing such an amazing safety milestone."

Aubrey Jackson (interim president and vice president of engineering services), Joe Schnippert, (operations and manufacturing), and Neva McGruder, (human resources), were on hand from the Steel Structures management team to celebrate the safety milestone and the facility's 40th anniversary.

Built in 1971, the facility manufactures Meyer® steel poles used for the transmission of electrical power. Situated on 150 acres in rural upstate Wisconsin, the facility employs 244 people. The plant also houses a full-scale structure testing and research and development facility located on the site.
