Local Events

Flag Raising Ceremonies

In June 2015, we celebrated the grand opening of our new office/warehouse complex in Londonderry, NH by hosting a major event.  In our main office, we have employees who come from 16 different countries. We had just finished installing 21 flag poles and each pole is now flying a flag of each employee’s home country.  We raised each flag and played all 16 national anthems.  In attendance were over 100 guests, including local politicians, bankers, lawyers, builders, friends, family, and employees. We were honored to have the event headed by the Governor of New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan. A truly spectacular day and  a huge recognition of each of our employees.  Many tears of joy were shed; after all it is not every day that one gets to raise the flag of his or her native country while living in a new land. Our international staff is our number one competitive advantage and we do not hide this “secret”.
