The second half is the Terre Haute, Indiana plant, on track to go online in 2013. Do You “Like” Kugler?

Some of the main products he sells are LS 924, KS 1515 , MicroMax , KQ -XRN and KS 2075. He notes that each year his Kugler sales have increased exponentially. He recognizes that the Kugler commitment to Quality is obvious in the products, in fact, since he started, he has received zero complaints from customers. He says, “Performance, quality, ease of use—and the yield results. When you plant, there is no plugging. Kugler products don’t corrode your equipment and they are easy to handle.” He adds, “I like working with an independent, family-owned company. When you need to talk with someone, you don’t have to work through a lot of layers. Kugler makes these products. It’s their name on the line, not some big corporation. So there’s a lot more involvement from the company as far as quality, because they know what’s at stake.” New K-Sites K-Stores has a new look at KStores.com.

Slow(er) Time… Safety Director, Mike Gapp For many in the company, this is the time where we slow down. Your versatility is the backbone of our company. You will likely find yourself helping somewhere doing something that you don’t remember signing up for. Unfortunately, nearly half of our company’s injuries involve someone performing a task outside their normal duties. Last month, I talked about the “2 second rule”; the brief moment of hesitation before you do something potentially hazardous. Again, our company can’t function without your flexibility. However, when you’re asked to do something outside your normal job description, take a little time to think about what you’re doing. Ask these simple questions: Do I have the right tools? Do I have the right PPE? Could I use a little help? Answering these questions, then acting appropriately, will help you go home the way you came in.

Cherpumple, Anyone? The recent auditors were discussing the “monster cake,” the Cherpumple. A c c o r d i n g t o W i k i P e d i a , “A cherpumple is a holiday novelty dessert... where several different flavor pies are baked inside of several different flavors of cake, and then s t a c k e d t o g e t h e r . ’ ” The McCook office has been showing off its culinary skills as of late and concocted t h e i r o w n v e r s io n , a “Cherple,” or, CHErry-APLle variety. As you c a n s e e , N e t w o r k Administrator, Curtis Olson definitely enjoyed his slice.
