Una-Lam Celebrates 100 Years of Incorporation With Covered Bridge Showcase

Yesterday, we briefly paused production to celebrate a century of incorporation with our family members, customers, suppliers and friends. Nearly 375 people joined us for an open house, covered bridge showcase and barbecue at our Sidney manufacturing facility. This photo shows the crowd gathering around what will one day be the Groton Street covered bridge in Pepperell, MA while our president, Craig Van Cott, makes a presentation.

One of the many highlights of the day was when we recognized our vice president of engineering, Robert Kaseguma, who recently completed his 45th year of service with Una-Lam. During the showcase, we presented Kas with a clock with a plaque inscribed “All our thanks to Robert Kioyoshi Kaseguma for 45 years of excellence as our friend, mentor and co-worker. Unadilla Laminated Products 2009.”

Several local elected officials also joined us for our celebration including Jim Warren – Sidney Mayor, Linda Bickos – Unadilla Mayor, Assemblymember Pete Lopez, State Senator Jim Seward, and a representative from Assemblymember Cliff Crouch’s office. These officials brought an Assembly Citation and Proclamation and a Proclamation declaring September 2, 2009 “Una-Lam Day” in Unadilla, which we are very excited about.

Our event was covered by WBNG – Channel 12 in Binghamton and you can view the story here.

We thank everyone for coming out and making the day a success!
