CSM Newsletter: 3Q 2023

N E W S L E T T E R A Decade of ESOP

Throughout our history, California Sheet Metal has consistently demonstrated an understanding of what it truly means to take ownership of our work.

Our company took a significant step forward in 2013 when we officially transitioned into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), granting all of our employees the invaluable opportunity to think and act like owners. This transformative decision has had a profound impact on our organizational culture and has become an integral part of who we are as a team.

EMBRACING EMPLOYEE-OWNERSHIP

BY EMBRACING

EMPLOYEE-OWNERSHIP AS A MINDSET, WE HAVE ELEVATED OUR COMMITMENT, DEDICATION, AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO A NEW LEVEL. THIS COLLECTIVE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY MOTIVATES US TO CONSISTENTLY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND, CONSISTENTLY STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE IN EVERY TASK WE UNDERTAKE.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD, CALIFORNIA SHEET METAL WILL REMAIN A SHINING EXAMPLE OF A COMPANY WHERE EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS EMPOWERED TO THINK, ACT, AND THRIVE AS AN OWNER, CREATING A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR TEAM AND THE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE

PARTNERS OF THE QUARTER: 3RD QUARTER 2023

Jeff Farrell - Is always willing to lend a hand, not just to his own team, but to everyone in the company. Most recently, he stepped up to help complete work on a project, which had some unrealistic deadlines despite having his own assignment to work on. His dedication creates a supportive work environment where teamwork thrives, and success is shared

Willie Gentry - Is the backbone of the CSM shop. He always makes the extra effort to track down PMs to provide critical information in order properly verify and confirm all orders. He consistently goes above and beyond displaying hard work and dedication day in and day out in the shop. Willie is a valued member of our team and is a vital part of CSM’s successful shop to field workflow.

Brett Speck - Has stepped up and taken on responsibilities above and beyond his PE role, including management of the company schedule and handling IT requests to SpotLink. Brett is eager to take on more and grow in the company
