SJF Christmas Celebration and Awards 2017

January 5, 2021January 2, 2018 by Denise Rosenau

Every year, SJF likes to treat our hard-working employees to a catered meal and awards ceremony to commemorate the accomplishments of a year’s worth of dedication. The year 2017 has been a particularly successful one for SJF, thanks to the dedication and hard work of all our employees, who work together each and every day to make sure our customers are our top priority.

We are who we are because of the men and women we call our SJF family!

Sales Awards

SJF had some outstanding sales in 2017. All of our sales people sold over $1 million dollars worth of material handling equipment to our loyal customer base.

Winning the top sales award this year was Eric Thovson (ET) for the second year in a row, followed by Kendal Kalamaha and Jason Dieter. Way to go!!

Anniversaries

We also like to celebrate anniversaries with the company and are proud that the majority of our employees have been employed with SJF for 10+ years. This year marked an important anniversary for one of our long-term employees, Dave Kieper, who has been with our company for an impressive 25 years. Thanks for all you do Dave!

Christmas at SJF

SJF employees and management took a few minutes to celebrate Christmas on a Friday afternoon. We enjoyed great food from Famous Daves (nice call owners!) and discussed our year and it’s accomplishments. The sales awards were also passed out and employees were recognized for all the hard work they do to make SJF what it is today.

SJF’s Holiday Party – 2012

January 30, 2019January 3, 2013 by SJF Material Handling

On Friday December 21st at noon, SJF Material Handling shut down operations to celebrate the past year with a Holiday Luncheon for all employees.

Sam Sterner, SJF’s lead buyer, proved he can track down more than just equipment by spear-heading the food acquisition which was catered by Dicky’s BBQ Pit out of Eden Prairie, MN. All employees were in attendance, including SJF’s Founding Father, Gerald (Jerry) Sterner.

After everybody enjoyed their BBQ, several awards were presented. Here’s a recap.

A Christmas Poem for 2012

January 30, 2019December 17, 2012 by SJF Material Handling

By Rhonda Remer.

Twas the month of December, I’ll soon leave my post,

So I got to thinking how I could help Sales the most.

Here’s a gentle reminder about whom to go to and when.

I penned this small poem hoping to help you again.

If your order is late, and you feel like crying,

Don’t ask Shawn or Mark, go to Joe Sr…or Brian.
