Susan Snyder Retires after 32 years.
All of us here at A.R.E. would like to give a special recognition to Susan Snyder. This month she is retiring after 32 years at the company! She has been a corner stone at A.R.E. since the beginning. Susan has pretty much done it all. She has been the HR, Accounting, Payroll departments all in one for a long time and done an excellent job! She has been through moving buildings, construction projects, machine purchases and countless other major changes over the years. She is a wealth of knowledge and experience and will be missed! Those who will be taking on her responsibilities have some large shoes to fill. In fact it is going to take two of us to do what Susan has done so seamlessly. Susan has always shown a kind heart to our employees, vendors, and customers. Her willingness to go above and beyond for someone else will be truly missed. We appreciate all her hard work and support throughout her years of exceptional service!
Congratulations on retirement Susan! We all wish you the best! Thank you for being a part of A.R.E. Manufacturing, Inc.'s story! Enjoy the next chapter!
