2018 Year End Celebration by Jeff Meiners Crest Foods marks the end of our fiscal year on July 31st every year. There aren’t any big blow-out parties and a countdown to midnight on that day, although rumor has it that the Accounting Department can get pretty crazy that night. We do, however, like to celebrate the end of our year in our own Crest Foods way. Bonus checks are passed out to all employees that day (I’ve heard stories that some greenhorn took a fall in the washroom on third shift passing out bonuses this year). We also like to have a cookout for employees, suppliers and any customers in the neighborhood to celebrate another year and to thank those who do so much every day to make Crest a great place to work. Through rainstorm and heat, nearly 1000 steaks sizzled on the grill by the big tent on August 7th this year. It is just another way to say how thankful we are to all who have made Crest their work home for another year. Our results have once again been great…Packaging stayed busy all year long resulting in a strong year for them – the Dairy Ingredient group had another strong year bolstered by continued business growth – the Consumer Products group also had a very strong year due to continued growth. On top of that, we continue to operate our company on a higher level than ever before – for those who have been around a while, we are doing things today that we didn’t even think were possible 10 years ago. We continue to be this independent little company (relatively speaking) out in the middle of nowhere who can play ball with any of the big boys. This is entirely due to the collective effort, creativity and passion of all those that work here. We feel lucky every day to be associated with such a great group of people. Thank you for a great year.
