CEO‘S MESSAGE 2019
was a year of re-investment in the Company! Your company has taken a large step forward in adding 9 new storage silos at three plants with an additional truck scale at each, new cold feed bins at Plant 2, and an array of other improvements including new load out systems at every plant. A much needed new laboratory at Plant 4 will be built this year, as well as a newly re-modeled existing building at Plant 1 to house our mix design lab has been completed. We also made an investment in a training and meeting center we call the “Ajax Barn” in the back 40 acres behind our Venice Main Office. This facility will be used for quality and safety improvement training, leadership training, entertainment and community activities, and many other company and social activities.
Our Tampa Division has their new office well underway in Temple Terrace. A beautiful building on our new property off US 301, which also has a satellite shop to do quick maintenance work orders, with additional office space for field folks and a new equipment wash system similar to the ones at Ft. Myers and Venice. Our hope is we will be moving to the new location mid-summer. The Ft. Myers office on Rickenbacker will also have a re-model this year and will commence in the near future pending permits. Additional offices and conference room are in order there as well as the addition of a truck bay on the satellite shop, again designed for quick work order completion. We have finished the new wash bay system and it is in use. As always we take pride in our equipment through all of our efforts in Total Process Reliability “TPR” and employee involvement. Comments from the public about the nice equipment we have is a testament to the involvement of our people. So congratulations and hopefully you are as proud of your Company as I am.
