Thanksgiving week seems like a good time to talk about how grateful we are for this past year and all that we have accomplished with the help of employees, vendors, customers, and communities. It has been a record-breaking year and we could not have done it alone. From overall efficiency at plants, new equipment purchases, an increase in our customer base, and continuous improvement within our company, we have a lot to be grateful for. Thank you to all those who have supported us this past year.

First and foremost, we are grateful to all the customers we’ve been allowed to serve for the past 41 years. While we continue to work as an industry leader in the industrial wood and custom packaging sector, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to serve our customers today, and into the future.

We are grateful that you continue to put your faith in us and allow us to provide all your lumber and transportation packaging needs.

Our employees are extremely hard-working.  We are grateful for their drive to make Conner a better place and to provide the best products and service possible to our customers. All the improvements that we have seen this year are because of their hard work. We are thankful to have a team that truly cares and is behind us every step of the way.

Safety has been a top priority for Conner since the beginning.  We are always looking for new ways to improve and keep our employees safe. Our plants have taken some of the new safety initiatives we began this year and run with them. We’re very thankful that our employees embrace a safety culture.  As of this year, our Hastings plant has gone more than six years without a safety incident. We are grateful to the employees and leadership that make safety a priority!

Vendors are an integral part of our business and help keep production lines moving. We are grateful for our longstanding relationships with mills, the providers of all the other components we use to build transportation packaging, and the other vendors we use to keep Conner growing.  We are grateful that we can partner with great people and companies.

With 14 locations across the United States, we are grateful to each of those communities that have welcomed us. Thank you to all the communities that continue to support and uplift Conner Industries.

Everyone on the Conner team is wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you take some well-deserved time to relax, spend time with friends and family, and eat great food!
