February 2010
From
the Desk of Rick Dahlstrom,
Exec. VP of Sales & Marketing:
This year marks the 100th
Anniversary of McNaughton-McKay. During the year, via our website, you
will be able to read about our heritage, as well
as the people who shaped the company. At the core, we
were built on a foundation of superior customer service delivered
through quality suppliers and outstanding employees. Those ideals
continue to drive our business 100 years later.
At no point in our history has the
company been as severely tested as in 2009. Many difficult decisions
were made, but always with the objective of keeping our customer service
at acceptable levels. If your experience with McNaughton-McKay diminished in any way, we want to know. Either contact your local
sales representative or e-mail me at
dahlstrr@mc-mc.com.
As we look to the future, we are optimistic that the worst is behind us
and excited about emerging opportunities. This
past year we have been making great strides to diversify our business.
In the area of renewable energy we now have a
suite of suppliers that allow us to deliver a complete solar energy
solution. With our Rockwell Automation partnership,
we can provide a complete integrated production environment for the
process industries through the PlantPAx offering. Our traditional
industrial and construction markets are in need of investment and many
of you are busy planning for upgrades in the coming months. We have many
new products and services to introduce and look forward to assisting you
in your future expansions.
We know that success in 2010 can only happen because of you, our valued
customer. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you in the future
and thank you for your past support.
