John “The Legend” Dotzman, 20 Year Crane Operator for AmQuip and 15 Year Lead Engineer at Sunoco Refinery (currently Philadelphia Energy Solutions), is hanging up his hardhat after working in the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 542 for 43 Years. John is the 2nd longest tenured Lead Engineer at any Refineries in Local 542’s history.

At AmQuip’s recent All Hands Safety meeting in the Midatlantic region, John’s many years of success were acknowledged and celebrated by his fellow employees.

John will be best remembered for his passion for the success of AmQuip, our customers, and his fellow Union Brothers. He led by example in his extraordinary knowledge of his trade, his exceptional work ethics and his constant demand for a safety culture.

We thank John for his years of dedication and will miss him greatly! Happy and Healthy Retirement!

The Retirement of a

LEGEND

Good News! It looks as though “spring has sprung” and we can put the snow shovels back in the basement. (Jack Good in Boston might want to keep his in the garage for a few more weeks!)

Thankfully, the Northeast had a relatively mild winter with much less snow fall than in recent years. However, all of our regions experi-enced significant rain, wind, tornados, ice and hail.

Now that we have this winter “beaten,” we’re all looking forward to spring, summer and the core of our construction season. The infra-structure work on roads and bridges has reached a fevered pace and since it’s an election year, I’d assume it will only get even busier.

Going into our last quarter of the year, we’ve been operating on or even slightly above our budget. That’s the good news. The not so good news is that several major projects that we had scheduled for this quarter have slipped to the 1st and 2nd quarters of next year.

But as usual with the AmQuip team, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going!” Everyone is working extremely hard to “fill in” our potential budget shortfall with other revenue opportunities. I’m confident that we’ll finish our year at or very near our budget even with these projects slipping into our next fiscal year.

Our equity partners, ClearLake Capital, continue to be very supportive as we work diligently to strengthen our company through equipment purchases and evaluate possible acquisition targets.

On behalf of the entire Senior Management Team and our equity partners ClearLake Capital, we wish everyone a safe and exciting spring season.

Sincerely,

Al BoveCEO

The Cincinnati Ohio office hosted a 24 hour MSHA class for new certifications and re-certifications. Sam Linville from A-Plus Safety gave the class which was attended by operating engineers: Robert Craddock, John Westermeyer, Lavell Akemon, Joe Woodrum, Joe Garcia, Chris Hardiman, Gary Fox and Shelby Taylor. AmQuip Ohio wants to make sure that we have enough trained professionals to be able to work in the various Lime plants in Ohio and Kentucky as well as the newer power plants that are starting to require credentials. Good job guys!

Please humbly allow us thank each and every one of you, all employees, companywide, for the excellent success achieved by the organization in the area of elimination of recordable injuries and lost time accidents for 2015 calendar year. Please know how challenging this endeavor was, working ever more challenging environments of employing more employees than any other period at AmQuip previously, working more exposure hours than any previous periods at AmQuip, achieving more revenue than most any other period within AmQuip and most will agree, working in one of the most challenging, demanding, litigious, and safety culture demanding periods in all of our careers.

So to say the least, not an easy result to achieve!

Now, given outstanding performance and extraordinary results we MUST demand each other and ourselves to raise the bar even further. To string together longer periods of identical performance and the strict adherence to building stronger yet cultures in safety and professional performances while improving proficiency an creating new revenue streams through the elimination in loss amounts. So the challenge set forth ahead is steep but achievable, the bar is raised for our challenge to meet. Something no doubt we are capable of achieving.

So please join us in a sincere appreciation and recognition of this achievement with our employees and our board/ownership and please post and share this sincere expression of our gratitude for a job well done. Sincerely and proudly,

Jeffrey C. Hammons Sr. Vice President of “FOLLOWER-SHIP” in an outstanding group of crane professionals! Thank you.
