PULSCO receives GOLD Boeing Performance Excellence Award!

It isn't very often that I get to share something that I can consider exciting. Let's face it we're an engineering company with a several niche markets; none of which allow us the opportunity to advertise or market in the traditional sense so any chance we get the ability to shine is good news, just like with anyone else, it feels good to be recognized. So needless to say, I was very encouraged when this news came in from the company President yesterday afternoon.

PULSCO has received a 2009 Boeing Performance Excellence Award. The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior performance. PULSCO maintained a GOLD composite performance rating for each month of the 12-month performance period, from Oct. 1, 2008, to Sept. 30, 2009.

This year, Boeing recognized 486 suppliers who achieved either a Gold or Silver level Boeing Performance Excellence Award. PULSCO is one of only 128 suppliers to receive the Gold level of recognition. PULSCO supplies the pulsation dampener 840002-074 for the Boeing 737 aircraft.

Performance excellence is fundamental to the success of PULSCO, ATCo and its customers. Congratulations to the employees of PULSCO and ATCo for their dedication to high performance standards in quality and delivery to meet our customer’s expectations. This is the second year PULSCO has received the Boeing Performance Excellence Award, and the first year to receive the GOLD award. I want to also extend my gratitude to Tom Huntzinger, Alice Buczek, and the ATCo manufacturing and assembly teams for all their hard work this past year.

This is great news because PULSCO received the Silver level award from Boeing in 2008. It looks to me like we're getting 2010 off to a good start by reaping the rewards from a solid performance in 2009. Congratulations and thanks to everyone at PULSCO for doing a great job.

Continued Push in Social Media

Inbound Marketing and social networks

Today I attended another webinar sponsored by HubSpot and re-enforcing what I've been reading and seeing about the subject of SEO. I think the word is "footprint", I've got to create a larger footprint on the web, serving up that all important content that users and folks on the web are seeking. Again the challenge for me is making things exciting and interesting. What a journey and a task! A quick search on Twitter for the keyword Water-hammer pulled up a fair number of tweets but one in particular caught my eye, a story about a recent deadly Powerplant blast accident in Russia attributed to Water-Hammer or as the story reported the Kremlin's official statement, Hydraulic Impact . If your interested here are photos as well, Russian Powerplant blast photos . I learned two things with this excercise, the importance and benefits to utlizing social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook for improving web presence. And because the Twitter excercise didn't produce any results for the other keywords we anticipate users or customers would search for that clearly indicates that right now this world is wide open and ripe for the taking.
