After a remarkable 45-year career at Dunmore, #1 Philadelphia Phillies fan, Mike Forsythe, retired from the company. Mike started at Dunmore in 1979 as a slitter operator and excelled in all sorts of essential roles over the years including scheduling, warehouse supervision, inventory control, and purchasing. Reflecting on his career, Mike shared, “I will forever be grateful to the Sullivan family and feel very fortunate to have worked for such a great organization alongside a fine group of people.” Mike’s presence and contributions have been invaluable to our organization. His dedication to our Steel Sports core values— teamwork, respect, integrity, and commitment— has inspired many of our team members to lead by example and hold each other accountable. Paul Sullivan, VP of Operations, shared, "Mike brought a creative passion to the work he did at Dunmore. As an example, Mike took it upon himself to review the films we held in inventory and proposed the expansion of the stackable racking system to include custom sizes to increase the density of our roll storage and reduce the time to pack work-in-process materials. Or as Mike would tell it, 'This is just common sense!'" Mike will be greatly missed and we wish him all the best in his well-deserved retirement! #Retirement #45YearsOfService #DunmorePride #Grateful #EndOfAnEra

🐕 Meet Shannan Paynter 🐕 When shannan paynter, Training Coordinator, is not updating Dunmore’s Standards of Work and supporting training, she's making an impact on our community by rehabilitating dogs rescued from fighting rings across Pennsylvania. Shannan's passion for helping dogs began when she worked with the police. During a sting operation, she was tasked with buying a healthy dog but was instead moved by a malnourished, skinny puppy she couldn't leave behind. She rescued that puppy, who remained by her side for 13 years. Now, Shannan works with eight dogs she is helping to rehabilitate at a nearby shelter, alongside her four rescued dogs and two cats. Among her rescues are two 10-year-old sisters saved from abuse, a Malamute-Husky mix found on the street, and several others who have faced severe trauma. We are incredibly proud to have Shannan as part of our team. Her story embodies true integrity and commitment, values we seek to uphold at Dunmore. Her actions prove that small daily efforts to improve can have an immense impact. Thank you, Shannan, for your commitment to giving these animals a second chance at a beautiful life. #TeamDunmore #AnimalRescue #CommunityHeroes #InspiringStories #DunmoreHeroes

🔵 A Focus on Wellbeing in June🔵 Today, during our daily morning meeting, Kristi Slifko, our Customer Service Representative, reminded the Dunmore team that June marks Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Kristi shared insights about the primary factors contributing to men's mental health crises: work, family balance, and finances. Historically, men’s mental health has been stigmatized, and it remains a challenging topic for many today. Ronn Cort, our President, provided valuable tips on recognizing potential mental health struggles using the acronym H.A.L.T (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired). He advised, "If you find yourself experiencing one of these feelings, take a moment to think about how to address it. If you’re feeling more than one, it might be time to seek support." At Dunmore, safety is our top priority. Our Safety Committee meets monthly to discuss not only the physical safety of our coworkers but also concerns that impact overall health and wellbeing, including mental health. As a member of the Safety Committee, Kristi announced plans to implement an on-site wellness program, inspired by our partner company, OMG, Inc. A heartfelt thank you to our Safety Committee for being accessible and responsive to the needs of the Dunmore team and for embodying our core values of teamwork, respect, integrity, and commitment. #MentalHealthAwareness #MensMentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #TeamDunmore

🌟 Team Dunmore Giving Back🌟 As part of our ongoing DEI initiatives, our dedicated team members at Dunmore took time out of their Friday to volunteer at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK).

Each interaction was a chance to connect, share a smile, and learn from the many stories shared. Guided by our core values of teamwork, respect, and integrity, this opportunity to serve others both strengthened our bonds as colleagues and friends and deepened our relationship with wonderful community partners.
