Alban Cat-A-Thon
Alban CAT’s 9th Annual Cat-A-Thon
Equipment Sale & Expo was held at our
Baltimore facility on October 6th from
10 am - 3 pm and featured hundreds of
pieces of equipment, attachments, and
more. The event was catered by Chaps Pit
Beef and our customers had their choice of
a cool treat from an original 1958 Good
Humor ice cream truck.
What an event! However, the day was
not met without uncertainties. Just a week
before the big day, we were facing a hurricane and the possibility of cancellation.
Thankfully, the storm missed us and we
all were able to enjoy beautiful weather for
the day of Cat-A-Thon. That being said,
Cat-A-Thon was a success! Over 200 people
attended our event and we had $2.5 million
in sales.
Inside this issue
Allied vendor participation is always
a large incentive for our customers to visit
the Cat-A-Thon. Jeff Regner said, “[The
Cat-A-Thon] gives customers the chance to
come in and see all the products we offer in
addition to visiting our vendors. We had
36 vendors this year, a record for the
Cat-A-Thon, and this event provides an
opportunity for these companies to showcase
their products and services.”
Alban CAT was able to partner with
Harley Davidson Motorcycles of Baltimore
for the second year in a row to give away
a motorcycle! After stopping at our
registration table, customers were able
to visit each of our allied vendors in order
to learn about what they do and the services
that they offer, in addition to browsing the

From the President
To All Employees,
Hard to believe we are heading into the home stretch of 2015 already, but it
has been a good year overall, as this will be our sixth consecutive year of revenue
growth. It is slow growth, which is manageable and allows us to have a better idea
of what to expect next year.
We have made a lot of progress in a lot of areas that will serve us well going
forward. Some highlights are the creation of our Demand Planning Group under Julie
Young to have a focused look at our current and future machine inventory needs, and
the creation of our Sales Accounting Group under Sherry Hazel. Sherry’s group will
manage the back end of the sales process – that is from the time we get a customer
order – in a more consistent way.
We are currently rolling out a new approach to machine sales that will put us in
a better position to maintain the strong relationships with our larger customers and
allow us to grow our business with customers that own and buy primarily smaller
machines. It will be different, and a lot better all around.
I have to recognize the great work that our two newest branch managers are doing
– Shane Krabal in Winchester and Don Tomanek in Myersville. Both have brought
experience and leadership to their new positions, and are off to great starts. Thanks!
Our engine opportunity continues to be strong and growing in EPG. We have
been lucky to have such as great group of leaders at Elkridge, led by Mike Lewis,
who have put us in the top tier of dealers in the EPG market. Let’s keep it going!
All the best,
The Alban Times 2

equipment that was showcased. While
visiting with those vendors, our guests
would receive a unique stamp from each
one. Once they visited at least 25 vendors
they were able to submit their stamp sheet,
which made them eligible to win the
Harley Davidson motorcycle. Everyone
who submitted was entered into a random
drawing for a chance to win.
This year, the lucky winner was Lock
Crippen of Crippen Crushing based out of
McLean, VA. Congratulations to Lock!
The Cat-A-Thon also featured a Sports
Memorabilia Silent Auction on site that
customers could take part in. All proceeds
from the auction would be donated to the
Wounded Warriors Project as a way to give
back to those who serve our great nation.
We raised a total of $220 from the auction!
The Cat-A-Thon has a way of instilling
a great sense of pride and accomplishment
into Alban employees. John Alexander was
continued
quoted saying that the Cat-A-Thon, “is an
opportunity to showcase our dealership
and I think it is professionally done. From
the setup, displays, and the vendors, it’s
something for customers to experience. We
take what we do seriously when it comes
to customer expectations. It takes a lot of
time, people, and coordination to make
the day successful and each year we try
to make it better than the last. This year
didn’t come without a challenge. With the
hurricane uncertainty and three and a half
days of rain, the show must go on. Special
thanks to Dana, Tony, Bryan, and all who
worked to make the day great.” The whole
purpose of everything we do in preparation
of the event is to provide our customers
with an excellent experience and keep them
coming back to Alban CAT so it’s always
nice when we’re able to receive praise from
our customers for all the hard work. Paige
Lynch of George & Lynch provided
positive feedback on the Cat-A-thon
by saying, “There were good deals on
equipment this year. The deals and service
keep me coming back to the Cat-A-Thon.
I bought a couple skid steers this year, a
couple backhoes last year.”
It certainly takes a lot of hard work in
order to prepare for the Cat-A-Thon. The
hurricane certainly threw us for a loop, but
Allen Shock would like to thank everyone
by saying, “It is amazing how things work
out. Even more amazing is the tremendous team work and dedication that Alban
employees exemplify every day and even
more so during the Cat-A-Thon season.
This event would not be possible without
the hard work of everyone. Each employee
is affected in some way by this event and
we appreciate your assistance in pulling it
off.” Thank you to everyone who helped
with the Cat-A-Thon!

ustomer Experience (CX)
COMPANY NEWS
What is Customer Experience (CX)?
Customer Experience (CX) is the product of an interaction between
an organization and a customer over the duration of their relationship.
This interaction includes a customer’s attraction, awareness, discovery,
cultivation, advocacy, purchase, and use of a service. It is measured by
the individual’s experience during all points of contact against the
individual’s expectations.
Simply put, the customer experience is your overall take on how it
went. Think back to the last time you went on a shopping trip. How was
it? Did you find everything you went to get? Were the employees helpful
and pleasant? The answers to these questions would begin to describe
your experience as a customer. Why is this important to Alban? Or who
cares about the customer experience? The customer’s experience is one
of few differentiating factors that we have from our competition. So we
want to know if our customers are happy and if we were successful in
meeting their expectations. Consider the introduction of the internet
and search engines; this invention and development alone has given
the customer a level of empowerment and choice that has never been
seen before. Adding to that, due to the recent changes in the economy
(ex. inflation, recession, and unemployment), we are all more conscious
in how we spend our hard earned money. Today we know the value
of the dollar and so do our customers; therefore making the customer
experience important to all of us. It is important that we remember that
our customers have the same choices and feelings as we do when it’s
our turn to be the customer. So don’t forget to say thank you and smile
when they walk through the Alban doors.
Who is this Customer
Experience (CX) Manager?
Hello,
I am Latisha Holmes, your new
Customer Experience Manager.
It is my number one goal to
enhance the Alban customer
experience from all aspects.
I’ve held a number of customer
facing and customer focused
positions in the past. I plan
to focus heavily on the seven
values that contribute to the
values driven culture at Alban.
I believe that these values
coupled with a “can do” attitude
demonstrated to everyone, every
time, will place Alban at the top
of everyone’s list for excellence
in Customer Experience.

GCI Product Training
On Tuesday, September 15th, the sales team hosted another
product training session, this time focusing on the new GCI
equipment. The training was held at our SITECH location and was
attended by the GCI, BCP, and Rental Representatives, as well as
our ISR’s, members of our training and technical services
departments, and the SITECH employees.
We were very lucky as we were able to get numerous CAT reps
to assist with this training. Cory Birch, CAT GCI Industry Rep.;
Allison Plumb, CAT Technology Rep.; Michael Campbell, CAT
Work Tool Rep.; Jay Ripp, CAT Systems Applications Specialist;
Anthony Rund, CAT Technical Rep.; Sam Meeker, CAT TTT/TTL
Product Specialist; and Jeremy Beck, CAT Excavator Product
Performance Engineer; all participated. Thank you all for your help.
Training began with presentations from each of the CAT Reps.
Allison Plumb, with help from Jeremy Beck, went over technology
and the role it is now playing in the construction industry. Jay
Ripp focused on the new 972M XE wheel loader, its features and
benefits, and how it beats out the competition. Michael Campbell
spent time going over work tools, and Sam Meeker focused on the
new 963K track loader. Lastly, Cory Birch went over the new 313F
GC machine and the correct way to sell it to our customers.
After classroom time, the sales team formed four groups to rotate
through machine walk arounds. Each walk around was conducted
by a CAT rep in order to ensure that all the pertinent information
was discussed. Each group was very engaged and received “funny”
money for all good questions and comments.
Following the walk arounds the groups enjoyed some stick time,
which is where they were able to get in and operate each machine.
There were areas where they were able to dig with the excavators,
an area to grade with the track type tractor, and a dirt pile where they
used the wheel loader to load up a 730 articulated dump truck. Stick
time is always beneficial as it gives the salesmen the opportunity to
see the machine from the same perspective as the operators.
Finally, once the stick time was concluded, everyone congregated
for the much anticipated auction. This time there were more items
and many more bidding wars! It was a great way to end a long but
informative day. Feedback from the event was very positive and the
plan is to have quarterly training sessions in 2016.
A very special thank you goes out to our SITECH location for
their hospitality and all their help with the grade control systems,
as well as all those who helped with planning and set up.

Continuous Improvement
Team Alban CAT,
It is my pleasure to announce that the
transition of Roger Hall from Edgewood
Service to Organizational Development at
Pulaski has been complete. All inquiries that
would have previously gone to him in his old
role should now be forwarded to Glenn Ford.
Roger’s many years of experience will serve
Alban CAT well in his new role through 2016
and beyond.
In the coming year, there are going to be some exciting changes
where CI is concerned. Roger will be working to define, implement,
and improve on traditional standard jobs, and he will be looking at
standardizing work in other areas as well. Creating standard ways
of doing work is a great first step to make work repeatable and
predictable. Minimizing costs will be the goal, as this should be a
goal of everyone, every day.
Latisha (Tish) Holmes will be helping us to view our customers –
inside and outside the Alban CAT organization – with a more
objective eye, so we can serve them better. Tish is bringing some
great ideas to the table that will enable us to see things from the
customer’s point of view. Satisfying customers, which leads to
increased business for Alban CAT, should be a goal of everyone,
every day.
Our broader view Continuous Improvement efforts, CPS Caterpillar Production System, will have a focus on additional
continuous improvement training and communications throughout
the organization. Along with picking up the pace for Metrics Board
deployment, an additional strategy will focus on training for
personnel at Alban CAT to a greater degree than the shorter
overview given through the New Employee Cultural Orientation
throughout 2015 for new hires. Improving our processes, driving
out waste, and reducing our costs in our process structure should
be a goal of everyone, every day.
Eye Health Tip
Your eyes like every muscle
in your body needs exercise
and we can easily burn it out,
staring at monitors all day;
leading to sight issues and
many trips to the optician.
Here is a quick tip from the
last UK based Optician I saw,
that has kept my eyes relatively
healthy over the last 25 years
of staring at computer monitors. Take a five minute break,
every three to four hours,
wander to an outside looking
window and just look around
- focus on objects moving,
objects far away and close up
close. By varying your focal
depth you get to exercise the
eye and don’t burn it so quickly
squinting at your monitors.

Sponsorship Program Thank You
Faith Communities
Civic Agencies United

Prader-Willis
Foundation
Thank you from the Scarboro Hills Disc Golf Club!
The club was founded in 2010 and has since its inception raised
over $37,000 for charity. The club has worked with charities like the
Arthritis Foundation, the Harford County Humane Society, and the
Food Bank. The Alban sponsorship money helped us hold the recent
“Let’s Throw for Tyler Together Tournament” which is in memory of
a deceased club member whose love of the game and animals is the
theme of the tournament. All proceeds of the tournament went to the
Humane Society of Harford County. This year it was $6,000!
The club has recently undertaken the huge task of creating a new
Disc Golf Course located at the northern end of the Churchville
Rec Center. The northern end is woods. Disc Golf courses try not
to disturb the natural landscape as much as possible but seemingly
endless paths need to be cleared for launch pads and baskets
(the target). Some of the sponsorship money was used to purchase
the various tools needed to do some minor tree cutting and land clearing.
These tools will further be needed to maintain the course so that it remains playable
and will supply another venue for future fundraising. Thanks again to Jamie!

We have experienced an increasing request
from many of our customers to have our employees wear flame resistant uniforms when
they are on their sites, even though the sites
and work required are not the type that would
require flame resistant attire. Technicians in
our electric power markets have already been
wearing these types of uniforms for some time,
but the demand to have them in non-electric
power related markets is somewhat new.
As a result of these requests, a thorough review
of our Company uniform policy was performed.
This review has led to several changes that will
take place between now and the end of this
year. These changes will provide additional
safety measures, reduce costs to employees
that wear uniforms, and provide a professional
and standardized appearance.
Employees that are in the following categories
(i.e., employees with job functions that require
regular or recurring customer onsite work or
work in our shops) will be issued flame resistant
uniforms: Pickup and delivery of equipment,
Shop Supervisors, Power Systems and Machine
(field, shop, rental, Reman, Chesapeake and
AAUP). All other employees that wear uniforms
will be issued uniforms that are not flame resistant. Flame resistant uniforms are limited in
the number of colors that are available. Since
green is not available at this time, we will also
be changing our uniform colors to blue for all
employees who currently wear uniforms.
These uniforms will also require a different
type of care when they are cleaned so that they
continue to maintain their flame retardant
properties. We have made the decision that
the cost for uniforms and the cost to have them
laundered will be provided by Alban. Each week
employees will need to turn in uniforms that
need to be cleaned, and will receive uniforms
that were cleaned during the previous week.
We are working on improving the safety, and
employee satisfaction at Alban CAT, and feel
that these changes help demonstrate that
commitment.
Thank you,
Joe Xavier, EHS Director & the Executive Team
