MGI ConTrols

Earlier this month, HSA enjoyed attending MGI Controls' quarterly engineering seminar in Lake Bluff, IL! The event featured a balanced mix of classroom instruction and hands-on practice, giving attendees the opportunity to rebuild components of the MV17-2 Master Mixing Valve and complete a full replacement. The building tour was equally insightful, highlighting MGI products in real-world applications across various setups and offering insights into additional product lines. It was an engaging and highly educational experience!

Oatey U

Last week, Tara Jensema and Jerott Holz had an awesome time visiting Oatey Company! They got a behind-the-scenes look at the facility, checking out Oatey’s manufacturing processes and exploring their latest product lines. At Oatey U, they rolled up their sleeves for some hands-on training that made learning about the products even more engaging. As a fun bonus, Tara even made it to an NBA basketball game, which added a cool twist to an already fantastic trip. It was definitely a visit to remember! 

Trench Drains

Over the last few weeks, our team had the opportunity to visit two different job sites to see Jay R. Smith trench drain installations. On one site visit, Tara Jensema and Jerott Holz observed a trench drain installation firsthand, while on a separate occasion, Phil Traynor visited a local distribution center to review the installation of a 9930 Jay R. Smith trench drain. Interested in finding the right trench drain for your project? Contact your HSA sales rep to learn more!
