As we begin our next fiscal year, I look forward to another year of continued success and positive initiatives for the company. We have started discussions around the strategic plan for Boshart Industries as we develop our next 3-year plan. I am excited to see ideas come together that will support and develop the company so that we can continue to deliver exceptional value and service to our customers.
All employees were able to participate in a team development experience with Tim Windsor called Boshart IGNITE.ALL which was designed to encourage and enhance several key success skills and behaviours. Employees participated in a half-day experience and will get to follow up with several group coaching sessions in the coming months. The key discussion topics included personal accountability, igniting your Boshart Experience and communication. The feedback from the initial sessions were very positive and I am confident that the experience will be meaningful for employees work and personal lives.
Congratulations to employees who are celebrating milestone work anniversaries in March & April: Debra Darroch Packaging Manager 5 years Steve Campbell Injection Moulding Operator 5 years Joel Phelan Procurement Specialist 15 years Arnie Gaunt Controller 20 years Calvin Kuepfer Packaging Labourer 20 years
I look forward to seeing you at upcoming events and shows in the coming months.

ProDUct knowleDGeSIMPLY PUSH, CONNECT, AND GO!
Push Fit Fittings and valves are available in sizes from 3/8” to 1” designed for connecting fittings and valves to Copper, CPVC and PEX Pipe. They are ideal for use on new residential and commercial plumbing, water heaters and hydronic heating systems and they are approved for use for both underground and behind walls with/without access panels.
Due to their unique design utilizing high quality EPDM O-ring and #304 Stainless Steel gripper ring no soldering, crimping, or solvent welding is necessary making them excellent for wet, hazardous and dry repairs where a system is hard to drain which makes soldering difficult. They provide a safe method to repair piping in hard to access situations where open flame could be a fire hazard for soldering and with no drying time required.
Push Fit Fittings are easy to disconnect if needed using a special disconnect tool (plastic disassembly clip) to release the gripper ring without damaging the fitting.
25 Year Guarantee!

rec committee news
Employees felt the love of VALENTINES DAY on February 14th as the rec committee provided
treats and prizes. Those wearing Pink or Red had their names entered into an extra draw!
There was no need to pack a lunch on January 25th as the rec committee held a SOUP’ER DOG lunch. Employees had the
choice of chicken noodle or potato bacon soup and barbequed hot dogs!
February 28th was another day that did not require employees to pack a lunch. The rec committee held our ANNUAL CHILI DAY. Homemade chili and Guenther’s buns were
served. Thank you to the employees who donated Chili!
