With this issue of Amco News we are pleased to
welcome many new readers—the employees of the Maro
Division of Adams-Millis.
It has been about 2 years since you became members of
the Adams-Millis Family. It takes a while to incorporate
the operations of two companies into a single one.
Just as in other areas of the company, inclusion of Maro

everyone will find our quarterly newspaper to be ben

May you continue to grow and prosper P^ema.
Safety is a constant concern for everyone In the
past several weeks many Adams-Millis employees
have earned recognition for their safety ner
formances. ^
Plant 8 earned the President’s Housekeeping
Award for the last half of 1987. This accomplishment
took an all-out constant effort by everyone in the
plant to be alert for situations which might have
caused a safety hazard.
We also had five truck drivers who received safety
pins representing 51 years of safe driving, meaning
that none has had a chargeable accident during that
time.
Eight of our plants were honored for completing
1987 without a “lost time” injury on the job. Plants 1
4/14, 6, 10, 33, 66, 70 and the Administrative Office
achieved this most enviable record.
Twenty-nine lift operators also were recognized
tor excellent safety records in 1987.
Seventy-eight supervisors received recognition
for the fine safety records achieved in their depart
ments during 1987.
I again want to congratulate and commend each of
these people who were recognized and to thank the
many other employees who played a role in the
achievements.
The importance of safety in the Adams-Millis op-
eration can never be stressed too much. May 1988 be
our“safest”yearyet.
