July 2015
Team,
As of June 30th, our fiscal year of 2015 is complete and thanks to everyone’s hard
work 2015 was a good year for the AmQuip Team. More importantly, you had a
very safe year that set new milestones for our industry and we’re determined to increase
our “Safety Culture” even more in the future. We were able to add approximately
122 new assets to the company’s fleet and finished the year ahead of budget.
Congratulations to our Nashville &
Murfreesboro branches!
In 2015 AmQuip continued to expand into new markets never before explored by
our company. We safely and successfully completed major projects in Philadelphia
and other areas of the country including Illinois, South Dakota and New Mexico.
To help manage our progress, we’ve developed a “Regional Structure” for managing
operations and other critical systems. As our company continues to grow, a Regional
System can be expanded regardless of our size and geographical footprint. We have
many growth opportunities that we’re exploring including acquisitions of other
companies and expanding into new geographical locations. Keep watching our
newly upgraded and constantly changing web page for news flashes and updates,
we are “Moving on Up”.
AmQuip has always prided ourselves for offering our team members the very best
health insurance that we can. I’m sure that everyone not living on Mars is aware
of the pressure on the health care insurance industry with the addition of Obama
Care. Obama Care has put health insurance into a race to the top with premiums
going up and a race to the bottom with coverage going down and often both at the
same time. It’s up to all of us to be diligent and spend our medical dollars wisely.
For insurance year 2016 which begins August 1, 2015, AmQuip is offering a
completely new medical insurance program. This will be a partially self-funded
insurance program that will be much more user friendly and hopefully allow us to
hold the line on rising cost.
On behalf of myself, the entire Senior Management Team and our Equity Partners
ClearLake Capital we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer season.
Sincerely,
Al Bove
CEO

operate the machinery. Bob answered
questions about the 90 T HTC and
allowed families to get an up-close and
personal look from a unique perspective.
With attendance over 6,000 it was a great
