We all gathered for a great meal and held our annual company meeting at Walnut Creek Country Club on March 11th. We reviewed our 2025 results, shared plans for 2026, and recognized the outstanding achievements by all departments. The highlight, as always, was the announcing of our Outstanding Service Award winners.
Our Outstanding Service Award winner for 2025 went to Nate Curren, Branch Manager for our Brownstown, Mich. location.
Nate has been instrumental in the rapid growth of our Brownstown, Mich. location. As Branch Manager, he has solidified relationships with customers and worked well with our proactive sales team, achieving double digit growth.
He has taken initiatives to greatly improve branch operations. Nate has also been an integral part of promoting, implementing, and managing our inventory management solution called Shelf Aware, which is in place at numerous facilities in Michigan and Indiana.
Honorable mentions for the award include Natasha Leonard and Marc Sowa.
Natasha is one of our top order processors, handling more than $4 million in sales in 2025. She has been instrumental in assisting with team corporate accounts and providing training to new members. She has gone outside of her normal sales duties in volunteering to help Bearing Service test several new technologies to make us more efficient with our customers and has done work on our open order reporting to help us ensure our customers receive their product on time.
Marc has taken on a new role in Operation Support and has been instrumental in improving operations at all four Bearing Service locations. He has been a tremendous asset to Bearing Service in both our recent moves, including from our Warren, Mich. location to Sterling Heights, Mich. and our more recent consolidation of our two Livonia, Mich. locations into our facility at 12320 Globe Street. Marc's tremendous problem solving abilities has had a profound impact on all locations in shoring up operational efficiencies.
Congratulations to Nate, Natasha, and Marc!
