Meet Heather! As our Maintenance & QC Coordinator, she does lots of organizing, scheduling, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks! Heather joined us over a year ago in the Main Office, and her willingness to jump in and help has not gone unnoticed. Whether she's behind her desk building spreadsheets or out on the plant floor getting her hands (and clothes) dirty, Heather is always ready to do what it takes. She is also a big part of our safety team, and we truly enjoy having her on board!

Piece of history made it to the blacksmith shop this weekend. My great grandpa's forge now has a new home at Bonaparte Ironworks.
