2021 Bridgeport Business of the Year Nominee
2021 Bridgeport Business of the Year Nominee
2021 was a big year for us here at GLE-Precision. We were acquired by Hyperion Materials & Technologies, we had a record-breaking year for sales, and the cherry on top; we were a nominee for “Bridgeport Business of the Year” at the 2021 Best of Awards. Which, the Birch Run Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce hosts. Not only were we a nominee, but we made it through several rounds of elimination. Additionally, we were honored as a top 3 contender for business of the year. We wanted to send a huge “thank you” to anyone who nominated us! We strive to invest in our community, and we feel that this was a testament to that.
Fun Filled Evening
The Birch Run and Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce held their first in-person awards ceremony since before COVID-19 on April 27, 2022. It was a great night for all attendees. The award ceremony included catered dinner, fun door prizes, awesome raffle prizes (including a 7-day trip to Marco Island), 87 silent auction items from local companies, and of course trophies for the winners. Likewise, the dinner and atmosphere were just amazing, and everyone had a great time. Representing GLE-Precision at the event was General Manager Clint Bucholz, Controller Jim Briggs, Sales Engineer Vanessa Swain, and of course significant others and family members joined as well.
