MILTEC Corporation reflected on
employee success last year and took
the opportunity to recognise and thank
employees, new and seasoned
veterans, at its annual holiday
luncheon.
There were several employees who
celebrated milestones in 2015. One
employee was recognised for their
25-year anniversary, followed by four
employees who celebrated ten years
and three who celebrated five years.
The company also recognised 12
employees who completed their
one-year anniversary in 2015.
Several new employees joined the
team in 2015, some of those filling key
management positions in sales, human
resources and the bulb division, while
others joined in research and
development, purchasing and
manufacturing.
Each year, Miltec formally recognises
one individual who exemplifies
customer satisfaction, time
management, safety, initiative and the
company’s core values.
A committee of former recipients of the
award collects nominations and ratings
and selects the recipient of this honour.
This year’s award went to Jennifer
McCullough, who will be celebrating
her fourth year with the company, and
is an electro mechanical assembler,
heavily involved in both of Miltec’s MPI
and HPI products.
She ensures high quality assemblies
and provides on-the-floor instruction
and training to co-workers.
As the company approaches 26 years
in business, president Bob Blandford
took the opportunity to personally
recognise and thank all employees,
recapping 2015 and sharing the
exciting forecast for 2016.
For 2016, plans are to grow
employee population to support new
business opportunities and the
release of several new innovative
products. In addition, Miltec will
continue to train employees, and
partner with various Maryland
agencies in support of training to
promote business growth.

❍ Staff at the annual holiday luncheon
Clifford Welding Systems (CWS) has undergone a name
change to Clifford Machines & Technology (CMT).
The name change has been effected to better reflect the
diversified range of machinery that is now being delivered to
customers and to express the capabilities and ambitions of
CMT to produce machines and solutions in the industrial
equipment space.
Craig Markham, CEO, said: “We increasingly find ourselves
receiving enquires to build capital equipment for customers
not in our traditional wire and steel industries, customers
that recognise CMT’s world-class engineering, design,
development and project capability.
“The new name is a good fit for the type of projects that we
find ourselves involved with; delivering machinery and
services to exciting new markets where our core capabilities
allow us to deliver solutions to challenging problems.”
Iain Ambler, technical director, added: “The Clifford name
has been linked to the wire and steel industries for the last
50 years and yet all this time we have been providing
machinery and solutions to business in industries outside
this segment.
“Our new name reflects all the history and experience we
have in the machine building space and speaks to our
capabilities to produce equipment, incorporating cutting
edge technologies, with the same Clifford quality, reliability
and innovation that our customers have come to expect.”
