After having to cancel our tournament in 2020, we were able to again invite all our employees out to the golf course for our 33rd ARE Manufacturing Golf Tournament. We postponed the date to September this year so It was a bit warmer weather than normal. It turned out to be a great time. Thank you to everyone who showed up and congrats to those that won in the tournament or the raffle prizes!

On August 30th A.R.E. employees gathered in Dundee for our annual company picnic. We enjoyed a BBQ lunch, BINGO, a Poker Walk and lots of yard games. We raffled off some prizes and gave out 10 hours of PTO! It was great time and the games even went on until after dark! I’d say it was a success! Thank you to all who came and joined in! Also to Alvin for providing such a great event each year!

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!
Below is a slideshow of the retirement party and gifts for Susan’s last day here. Thank you to all of you who were able to make it such a special day for her!
