Family Forum

Despite the challenging market conditions in 2016 in both the electrical and oilfield seg-ments, we remain enthusiastic and positive about our future. Robroy will continue to invest

in plant operations, product development and, our greatest asset, Robroy Associates. Our top pri-ority for the balance of this year and moving forward will be top line sales growth. This will beachieved through the organic growth of existing product lines and through strategic acquisitions.

I am pleased to announce the recent acquisition of Attabox Industrial Enclosures. Attabox isthe industry leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of polycarbonate NEMA styleenclosures. The polycarbonate addition will complement our Stahlin non-metallic fiberglass brand,which is also recognized as best of its type in the industry. This acquisition strengthens our posi-tion as a market leader of non-metallic electrical enclosures and provides a platform to expand ourcustomer base.

Robroy will continue to support our operations teams as they pursue growth initiatives. In addition to strategic acquisi-tions, product innovation will be a key strategy to support our growth initiative. We must listen carefully to our customersand strive to provide the highest quality products that meet or exceed their requirements.

I want to thank all the Robroy Associates for their dedication and support of our companywide growth initiative. I lookforward to seeing everyone during my future plant visits to Gilmer, Avinger and Belding. I wish you and your family ahappy, healthy and terrific summer!

Adopt A School

This spring, Robroy Industries,Verona, participated in the

Education Partnership’s Adopt-A-School Program. Headquarters choseto adopt Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5, aTitle I school located in the North Sideof Pittsburgh. This decision was madeafter hearing about the educationalneeds of its students from KathleenLiberto, Jean Liberto’s daughter, andDanelle Uniatowki. Ms. Liberto servesas a Speech-Language Pathologist atthe school and Ms. Uniatowki is afourth grade math teacher there.

Children in low-income schools,such as Spring Hill, face special chal-lenges. Most of the students attendingSpring Hill K-5 do not have the sup-plies at home to finish homeworkassignments, such as pencils, crayonsand paper. The lack of resources putsthese children and their teachers at avery large disadvantage for educationalsuccess.

Robroy purchased supplies tobuild “Power Tool Homework Kits” forthe students of Spring Hill K-5.Working in two teams in an assemblyline fashion, the HeadquartersAssociates created 250 kits in a rela-tively short amount of time. Each toolkit included pencils, crayons, markers,notebooks, binders, a pencil sharpener,glue, scissors, tissues, a toothbrushand toothpaste. A handwritten note ofencouragement written by aHeadquarters Associate was alsoincluded in each tool kit.

On April 8, 2016, the associatespresented Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5with the homework tool kits at an

The students were over-joyed to receive their “Power ToolHomework Kits” and the notes ofencouragement, which were often thefirst items pulled from the bags. AsDanelle Uniatowki explained, knowingthat someone cares about them andtheir education meant just as much tothe students as the tool kits. It was agreat day for everyone involved.

Spring Hill’s drum corps welcomed the guests.

Jeff McIlroy addressed a class of inquisitive students.The notes of encouragement were of particularinterest to the students.
