HEXPOL Holiday Celebrations

Muscle Shoals, AL

Robbins, LLC had their annual Christmas Party off campus December 14th, 2015 at 1:00 pm. This was the first time the event was held off campus. This event was held at a local restaurant named Rhoda "Ps" and her establishment is well known for their Southern cuisine. The Agenda consisted of a welcome to everyone, 2015 state of business address, 2016 plans and needs, as well as prize drawings and presentation of service awards. The Associates really enjoyed this event and a great time was had by all!

Middlefield, OHGold Key Processing, Inc. held their annual Christmas Party on December 11th. The lunch was held at Mary Yoder’s, a local restaurant. After eating lunch, we handed out numerous service awards and had a raffle for prizes including a handmade quilt. After the party, we had our annual White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone enjoyed this wonderful lunch and the time spent together.

The Gold Key campus also adopted a local family for the holiday season. We were provided with a wish list of presents, and were able to give the family everything on their list. It was a wonderful and humbling feeling to be able to play Santa and deliver the gifts to our family.

Queretaro, MexicoThe annual end-of-year party, actually the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe --Patron Saint of Mexico--, took place on December 12th. The Associates' families attended this event and the children were given toy helmets with the Hexpol logo on them. A priest was brought in to say Mass in the Virgin's honor. The families were given a plant tour and there were also small fair rides for the children to enjoy. A hearty meal was served to all. A good amount of select presents were raffled in the end, with about half the families winning something. At the end of this great day, the children were given presents: soccer balls for the boys and dolls for the girls.

Jonesborough, TNOn December 17, 2015 the Associates of HEXPOL Compounding in Jonesborough, Tennessee were treated to an amazing luncheon to celebrate the Christmas holiday at a very popular area restaurant called “The Farmer’s Daughter.” Since a large number of Jonesborough’s Associates have been with the company for many years, a number of them almost since the beginning in 1974, it always seems almost like a family get-together rather than a company celebration. Approximately 90 of our production, administrative and managerial Associates were in attendance.

After everyone had eaten until they were so full they could barely walk, there was time to sit around and socialize with friends and co-workers. Managing Director, Larry Lowe, spoke to the assembly about our plant, the company and business over the past 12 months. He also expressed his appreciation for all of the hard work and the dedication of Jonesborough’s entire workforce. All of the Associates were delighted with the luncheon!

Burton, OH

The holiday luncheon held for Burton Associates on December 11, 2015 had over 200 in attendance including 17 retirees. Great fellowship was enjoyed by all in celebrating the team's successful year. Business updates/recognitions were given by the leadership team. Service awards were presented honoring 525 combined years of service. Multiple raffles and drawings were well appreciated and enjoyed by everyone.

Two very successful drives were held at the Burton campus to help several Geauga County families have more enjoyable holidays. All the generous food and toy donations by Associates were greatly appreciated.
