— Congratulations Given to All Employees —
Fotofax usually asks our plant manager to comment on
the “state of the business” at year end, but Jack Dense requested
space in our July-August issue to express a special word of appre
ciation to all employees.
His comments ... “I want to congratulate all Brevard
Plant employees for the excellent job done so far this year to im
prove quality and costs along with an increase in output.
“We have been very fortunate at the Brevard Plant not to
have experienced the business slump that has been characteristic
of business in general throughout the country. The primary reason
for this is that we are making a high quality product that the cus
tomer wants.
“The improved efficiency in all areas of the plant has
raised the question by some employees of whether there will be
cutbacks in personnel and number of shifts worked. Based on our
current forecasts, we anticipate no reduction in the number of shifts
of operation in any area, although employee losses through attrition
may not be replaced. Our volume may fluctuate from month to month,
but overall we see a steady increase in demand for product from our
plant —if we continue to make what the customer wants.”
