Labor Day recognizes the contributions of American workers. At Betts Company, that story stretches back to 1868.

For more than 158 years, generations of skilled Team Members have built Betts Company and supported the industries we serve.

As we head into Labor Day weekend, we thank everyone at Betts for the work you do and the pride you bring to it each day. We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday.

The historic image attached to this post is featured in our lobby wall display at Fresno HQ. It shows some of Betts’ earliest workers at our original Bay Area shop, connecting those who came before us with the people carrying that legacy today.

Betts Spring Manufacturing's second-shift Team Member Ming Wong hit the Safety Jackpot!

Safety Jackpot is a game card-based incentive program designed to reduce workplace accidents by rewarding employees for safe behavior. The program distributes scratch-off game cards to Team Members who demonstrate safe practices. The cards reveal points and letters that can lead to bonus points and prize opportunities.

Developed in 1991 and offered by Peavey Performance Systems PPS, Safety Jackpot is used by thousands of major companies worldwide, including Betts Company.

Ming earned the opportunity to participate in the Safety Jackpot National Drawing with a chance to win up to $10,000. He selected two money bags worth $375 and $250, bringing his total winnings to $625!

“We use Safety Jackpot to drive positive safety behaviors and engagement that align with The Betts Way and improve our safety culture,” said Betts Company Director of Safety Mark Patton. “It’s a fun and effective safety program.”

Check out Ming with his winnings and other safety meeting photos below.

Who says every Flashback Friday has to take us back generations?

Today, we’re looking back at a recent Betts Company Town Hall, where President Bill Betts talked about what our mission of improving the way things move means for our company, our Team Members and the customers we serve.

It’s been part of the Betts story since 1868, and it still helps guide what we do today.

omorrow, August 15, marks the anniversary of the end of World War II, a significant moment in our nation’s history and an important chapter in the history of Betts.

We thought it would be an opportune time to once again share the story of Emeline Betts, great-grandmother of Mike Betts and great-great-grandmother of Betts Company’s own Bill Betts, Joe Devany and John Devany.

From 1920 to 1955, Emeline was President of Betts Spring Company, which later became Betts Company.

In addition to negotiating with banks during the Great Depression, Emeline had the arduous task of keeping the company afloat leading up to and through World War II.

Emeline's mission was to continue the Betts legacy of crafting and selling superior springs. And by all accounts, she did so with grit and determination.

As we've shared before, we also honor Emeline's legacy at our HQ, where our conference room now bears her name. Pictured here is the newly installed plaque outside the Emeline Betts Conference Room.

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, so it’s time for another Fun Friday Challenge!

If you’ve spent much time at our Fresno HQ, there’s a good chance you’ve seen this machine on display in our lobby. But for those who haven’t, can you guess what it was used for? Share your best guess in the comments. We’ll reveal the answer next week.

HINT: Bonus points if you can explain how the process worked!

A few years ago, for a Flashback Friday, we shared a 1932 recommendation letter from Paul Kleiber of San Francisco's Kleiber Motor Company on behalf of Betts Spring Company, later to become Betts Company.

While looking through our archives this week, we came across another Kleiber testimonial. Written on September 7, 1933, the letter introduced third-generation Betts family member Shannon Betts while marking 65 years since Betts was founded in 1868.

This letter, which we believe has not been published before, shows Mr. Kleiber writing that after more than 30 years of using Betts springs, "very seldom does a Betts spring break." He goes on to say, "If a person wants a spring that will not break, we always have it made by Betts."

It's a strong endorsement from one of California's pioneering truck manufacturers and a reminder that earning a customer's trust has always been one of the strongest measures of quality.

Please take a moment to read it. Back then, a customer's recommendation helped shape a company's reputation.

Investing in our Team Members means giving them the knowledge and confidence to respond when it matters most.

As Betts Company Director of Safety Mark Patton shared, "One of my favorite parts of my job is teaching CPR, AED, STOP THE BLEED®, and first aid. Organizations need emergency preparedness training because it empowers Team Members to act swiftly and confidently during a crisis."

Today, members of the Betts Spring Manufacturing Safety Committee took part in this hands-on training, building the skills and confidence to respond when every second counts.

This type of training helps protect lives, supports business continuity, and helps ensure we meet OSHA emergency preparedness and response requirements.

Providing opportunities like this helps strengthen workplace safety and emergency readiness throughout our company.

Thank you to Mark for sharing this update!
