First, a few weeks ago, we posted the CDC recommendations and installed hand sanitizing stations outside restrooms, time clocks, and entry areas. We instructed our cleaning personnel to do deeper sanitizing of surfaces touched by personnel. We are emphasizing social distancing. We are limiting visitors including vendors at our plants and any business travel requiring use of mass transit such as airlines. Last week we again distributed and posted the CDC recommendations. This week management met with all our Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Montana employees to discuss Covid-19, measures taken, and to try to answer all questions. We took a new approach by meeting in small groups so we could maintain social distancing while seriously discussing the CDC recommendations. The small group approach worked out really well. As anticipated, there were a lot of thoughtful concerns and people felt much more comfortable voicing and discussing those concerns in small groups of coworkers. From our discussions, more hand sanitizing stations are now on order as well as sanitizing wipes, sprays, and tissues. Management continues to discuss and create additional needed response protocols. The Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) has been very helpful with their management materials, as well as, our Federal health organizations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;We’re all in a very dynamic changing landscape, every so many hours there seems to be another announcement that affects us to some degree, but please know that your Jamison team will do what it can and is allowed, to protect the health of our employees while taking care of the needs of our customers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dwight Clark&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;President&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jamison Door Companies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2020 15:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/1053</guid></item><item><title>Service and Installation School | New &amp; Improved</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/service-and-installation-school-new-improved</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;From our new BMP high-speed fabric and rollup facility in PA, Jamison is excited to offer detailed instruction in servicing and installing Jamison doors.

Williams said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"We have a complete line of doors for a one-stop shopping for the cold-storage industry,” Williams told about 50 people who gathered for the event. "This facility gives us the opportunity to move beyond cold storage into the general industrial market."&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;That market includes doors for commercial mechanics' garage bays.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The Zullinger manufacturing facility is Jamison's fifth, with other locations in three states and Mexico.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;With its headquarters in Hagerstown, the company employs 200, including the dozen now at the Zullinger plant. That number is expected to grow over the next three years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"Our projections are we'll have 30 to 35 people in three years if we're able to grow the products like we think we should be able to," Williams said. "Adding two distinctly new product lines, we have great expectations for those."&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;L. Michael Ross, president of the Franklin County Area Development Corp., called the facility the "perfect project and the perfect location."&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"They are able to maintain the coordination with their other locations in Washington County," he said. "It really speaks to connectivity between Franklin and Washington counties, and I think that's good for all of us.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"We feel fortunate that they're here, and we want to support their growth. The jobs they are starting with here, we believe will grow over time, and it really complements this industrial park in a really great way. To have them here really blends well."&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Ground was broken for the $4 million facility a little more than a year ago.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"This is a really special day for Jamison," Williams said. "This is a result of a lot of teamwork — teamwork of all the people who have worked for Jamison in 113 years, and the teamwork of Mike Ross and his group that made this the simplest, awesome move for us."&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;For the development corporation, the Jamison project is both opening and closing doors. Ross said the development puts the industrial park at the "built-out" stage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;"This has been a project in which we take so much pride, so much so that for our annual report this year, we have featured Jamison Door, opening doors of Franklin County," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Written by Joyce Nowell, as featured in the &lt;a href="https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/instant/jamison-officially-opens-doors-in-franklin-county/article_42f9ab58-c474-11e9-b671-bbf33d5e750d.html"&gt;Herald Mail&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Thu, 22 Aug 2019 12:37:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/1048</guid></item><item><title>Jamison Door CEO Appointed to MD Medical System Board</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/jamison-door-ceo-appointed-to-md-medical-system-board</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;ANNAPOLIS — Gov. Larry Hogan has appointed John Williams, CEO of Hagerstown’s Jamison Door Co., to the University of Maryland Medical System’s board of directors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Williams told Herald-Mail Media that he was nominated for the board by Kimberly Burns, former president of Maryland Business for Responsive Government and current chief of staff for the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Hogan’s office announced the appointment Wednesday, as well as nine other appointments to the board. Hogan plans to make more appointments in the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;A scandal involving self-dealing by some previous members of the UMMS board emerged earlier this year, resulting in the resignation of former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh from both the board and the office of mayor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The scandal also resulted in new legislation by the Maryland General Assembly this year setting new ethical standards for the 30-member board and requiring the terms of all previous board members to end by January 2020, regardless of whether they were tainted by the scandal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Board members were permitted to apply for reappointment.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;One who didn’t seek reinstatement was Hagerstown attorney Bruce Poole, who said his second term on the board expired a year ago. He remained on the board waiting for Hogan to appoint a replacement. He still is a member of the board of visitors for the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Williams said his appointment “was out of the blue,” although he “had read a good deal” about the scandal involving the previous board and was asked what he knew about it during his interview.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;An independent review of the board’s contracts, also released Wednesday, showed contracts awarded to board members — including Pugh — were not competitively bid, and there was a “pattern by management” of making decisions without full board approval.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;UMMS agreed to pay Pugh $500,000 between 2010 and 2018 for her self-published “Healthy Holly” children’s books — but those contracts were not brought before the board or any subcommittee for prior approval.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Several other board members reportedly had business contracts with UMMS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Poole, who missed several board meetings last year because of knee surgery, said he “literally had no inkling anything was going on.” He first heard that “some people appeared to have a conflict of interest” when he returned in February for a subcommittee meeting, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“Most of my two terms was pleasant but hardworking,” Poole said, requiring five hours a week of work. “There’s a lot that goes on” since the board oversees not only the university medical center, but a number of other institutions and affiliates. The quality of care provided by the system “was quite good,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;But “these last couple of months have been horrendous,” Poole said. The scandal “shook the confidence of the public,” he said, and “it was quite a process to learn the facts and respond to elected officials.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Once he returned, the legislation aimed at the board, sponsored by state Sen. Jill Carter, D-Baltimore City, “all the sudden took on a life of its own.” By the time the legislative session ended, he said he was not surprised that all current members — which at the time included late House Speaker Mike Busch — would be terminated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“I don’t see anything wrong with (the legislation),” said Poole, a former House majority leader and former chairman of the state Democratic party. He saw the list of new appointees, and “I was particularly happy to see John Williams” was on it, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Williams acknowledged that the board’s recent difficulties makes serving a little more of a challenge for the new members. But “it’s an honor to have been asked to serve,” he said, because “the system is so important to so many people.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“I have no pre-conceived notions” of what the board will need to do going forward, he said. “I plan to listen and learn and ask a bunch of questions.” In light of recent events and the new legislation, one of those questions is, “How does this board operate publicly?” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Williams said he also hopes there will be diversity among the new membership, and he believes his business experience “will have some value.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Having served on the board for about 10 years, Poole said one of his biggest concerns is that rural hospitals and physician practices “are not doing well. We weren’t able to fix that problem.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The problems encompass financial challenges and quality of care, he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“Many rural hospitals are struggling. They have difficulty recruiting young physicians and trouble with reimbursement rates. It’s a huge problem,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;But he also sees that as an opportunity for Hogan and the board. “There’s no better thing he could do” than fix the rural health care challenge, Poole said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;And while he supports having a new board, Poole said it is important to have people involved with some institutional knowledge of the medical system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“It’s a large and complicated system,” he said. “It’s not like you’re taking over a lemonade stand.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Written by Tamela Baker, as featured in the &lt;a href="https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/news/local/jamison-door-co-ceo-appointed-to-md-medical-system-board/article_c6e82cc3-34bc-51fa-8848-77da2f58ddee.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Herald-Mail&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Fri, 14 Jun 2019 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/1047</guid></item><item><title>Jamison Door Receives Kudos from Pence</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/jamison-door-receives-kudos-from-pence</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;Vice President Mike Pence praised Jamison Door of Hagerstown Tuesday as he touted tax reform under President Donald Trump.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“It was pretty emotional, actually,” Jamison Door Chairman and CEO John Williams said Wednesday. “Jamison’s a great company with a great group of people.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Pence was speaking at the spring meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers in Scottsdale, Ariz. Williams, a member of the board, was at the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The vice president said the “stories in this room are too numerous to recount,” but he singled out Charles Sukup, the president of Sukup Manufacturing in Sheffield, Iowa, before turning to Williams and Jamison.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“We also have with us John Williams, the chairman and CEO of Jamison Door Company in Hagerstown, Maryland. Jamison Door Company was founded more than a century ago by three men with, I’m told, a little bit of money and a lot of determination. Since then, this family-owned business has produced more than a million doors for homes and businesses all across America. They’ve grown to more than 120 employees and recently broke ground on a new 50,000-square-foot manufacturing plant,” Pence said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“Last year, thanks to the tax relief we’ll talk more about in a moment, John Williams and Jamison Door actually was able to offer a raise to every single one of their employees even after they had given two separate bonuses worthy of a week’s salary. That’s what we call sharing the wealth and growing the American way. Thank you so much to Jamison and to the whole team. It’s great.”&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Pence also said Williams “stood with us in the Rose Garden at the White House last April” when Pence and Trump highlighted the “incredible boost” the tax cuts have provided to manufacturing companies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Pence went on to thank those at the meeting for supporting the administration’s economic policies.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, Williams said the tax cuts had a measurable effect at Jamison.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“It freed up money for us to make additional investments (in the business) and to give bonuses and to pay dividends,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;He also said the Trump administration’s efforts to roll back regulations have improved the business climate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Jamison makes air doors, insulated doors and high-speed, roll-up doors, specializing in doors for cold-storage businesses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;With its existing space for roll-up doors overflowing in Washington County, the company is expanding into a new facility in Franklin County, Pa.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;About $3.7 million will be invested in the new production facility in the Wharf Road Industrial Park in Washington Township.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The Franklin County Area Development Corp. is serving as a developer for the 50,000-square-foot building. The company held a groundbreaking ceremony in August.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Herald-Mail Media has reported that 35 people will work at the new plant. The company hopes to find new applications for its roll-up doors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Williams said Wednesday that, as things stand now, the new facility should be open in May.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;The company’s other operations and offices will remain in Washington County.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &#xd; &lt;div class="sevlVideo"&gt;&#xd; &lt;div class="sevlPlayerContainer"&gt;&#xd; &lt;div class="sevlPlayer"&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1qYFHVJOXXM" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Written by Mike Lewis, as featured in the &lt;a href="https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/news/local/jamison-door-receives-kudos-from-pence/article_8d9a0f70-0d66-5c4d-8a0d-fee80b0e0dbf.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Herald-Mail&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Mar 2019 20:19:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/1046</guid></item><item><title>A Work in Progress</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/a-work-in-progress</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;Work continues on the new Jamison Door Co. production facility in the Wharf Road Industrial Park in Franklin County, Pa.

The company also has additional locations in Hagerstown and near Williamsport.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Jennifer Fitch, &lt;a href="https://crossroadsbizjournal.com/category/news/news-briefs/"&gt;Crossroads Business Journal&lt;/a&gt;, February 2019 | Vol. 2, No. 8&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; </description><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2019 13:40:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/1044</guid></item><item><title>How To Lead: One Longtime CEO’s Letter To His Children</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/how-to-lead-one-longtime-ceo-s-letter-to-his-children</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>Lead with dignity and courage....&#xd; &lt;p&gt;After 50 years leading in three different industries, our very own&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/jamisondoorco/?__tn__=K-R&amp;eid=ARA2zFta6bAmq1YypbhBSaBbFqIp-UdESugle6wMVUMCNLZRqxWaFOricHO_n5ajBigpOLTgppg8aKI1&amp;fref=mentions&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDMWb2HZdnjfczM-Jc-tU_8UAoFqPYJJKMiSOjlQzno72eN2gf3MdMf8ww3500532lnPbH5aQCwoVImNXw6ZUARYJwQs7WcwwmfMb2Os2nxOlP1tb_KoOYBRNzVwRyutjN3t6d5iLATMBfzCcSmvp7dMc8S9cQ-Wyf993mfsmy4KVDojR63AYJoQVH8SAU6jwuNNtZCxdDXoCQKQrgW9no_t5fO_f7iyKDYTmrHvy_qN8RRJdnxUTAmKaPMMnqqlmzgKnoVICR63Kx-kCC-dYmFwsrl7NPEhZmG45pEJfHxpnQsMnuS-W1uAA6fn5mRFr6ti2O7JT5aZ9-zCMGScFne9Q" id="js_4q8" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=161315250572312&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARA2zFta6bAmq1YypbhBSaBbFqIp-UdESugle6wMVUMCNLZRqxWaFOricHO_n5ajBigpOLTgppg8aKI1%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D&amp;av=161315250572312&amp;eav=AfbuBWEuR7-omw1nQ_Icgz8RnngH15y0gpjiB584Rmsvc3ktsMrNDYAXUso026KvKzQ" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1"&gt;Jamison Door Company&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;CEO,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014356538201&amp;__tn__=K-R&amp;eid=ARCs17mtjIWWRu5BQ0BO0Df7bSDiEsYcQNDG0UUnS-Vz5KPLFQJJS5BXFlot5XKWpmlRj819xTWvKaF6&amp;fref=mentions&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDMWb2HZdnjfczM-Jc-tU_8UAoFqPYJJKMiSOjlQzno72eN2gf3MdMf8ww3500532lnPbH5aQCwoVImNXw6ZUARYJwQs7WcwwmfMb2Os2nxOlP1tb_KoOYBRNzVwRyutjN3t6d5iLATMBfzCcSmvp7dMc8S9cQ-Wyf993mfsmy4KVDojR63AYJoQVH8SAU6jwuNNtZCxdDXoCQKQrgW9no_t5fO_f7iyKDYTmrHvy_qN8RRJdnxUTAmKaPMMnqqlmzgKnoVICR63Kx-kCC-dYmFwsrl7NPEhZmG45pEJfHxpnQsMnuS-W1uAA6fn5mRFr6ti2O7JT5aZ9-zCMGScFne9Q" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100014356538201&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22__tn__%22%3A%22%2CdK-R-R%22%2C%22eid%22%3A%22ARCs17mtjIWWRu5BQ0BO0Df7bSDiEsYcQNDG0UUnS-Vz5KPLFQJJS5BXFlot5XKWpmlRj819xTWvKaF6%22%2C%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D&amp;av=161315250572312&amp;eav=Afaklb_ekbAgCZvIug8-8NjKL6VGEcJWOM7C5hzfYLJBxf_qvrXJD5VTQ0ii2mzasqQ" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1"&gt;John Williams&lt;/a&gt;, decided to write down what he’s learned from his experiences to help his children make their way in business—and the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/how-to-lead-one-longtime-ceo-s-letter-to-his-children"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; to see&amp;nbsp;if you can apply these inspirational ideas to your own lives and search for success!&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Thu, 13 Dec 2018 19:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/44</guid></item><item><title>Jamawear</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/jamawear</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;Brand loyalty can start at an early age.

The Franklin County (PA) Area Development Corp. is serving as a developer for the 50,000-square-foot building, and the new space for roll-up door production is anticipated to be complete by spring of 2019.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://jamisondoor.com/sebin/z/v/Groundbreaking Shovels.jpg" width="4032" height="2268"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;To kick off the ceremony, opening remarks were provided by Michael Ross, President of Franklin County Area Development Corporation.

Schemel explained how Jamison should find Pennsylvania to be a favorable state in which to do business, in part because of its tax structure. He stated, Pennsylvania is “a state that knows how to build things,” particularly Franklin County.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://jamisondoor.com/sebin/z/l/Groundbreaking Speech 2.jpg" width="4032" height="2268"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;John Williams, CEO and Chairman of Jamison Door Company, shared how he is particularly excited to see the new production facility develop. "Michael Ross and his team have been incredibly helpful in our process of locating a site to increase our capacity for high speed roll up doors," Williams said. “This new building is a major investment for our company and reflects our belief in a strong and growing economy and Jamison’s ability to prosper in it."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://jamisondoor.com/sebin/j/n/Groundbreaking Speech 3.jpg" width="4032" height="2268"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Following the remarks, the Ceremonial Groundbreaking commenced including Jamison officials, Lehman Construction, Franklin County Area Development Corporation, and local politicians.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://jamisondoor.com/sebin/x/k/Groundbreaking Crowd.jpg" width="4032" height="2268"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;"This really is a great day and a culmination of so much that has gone on,” stated Jamison CEO, John Williams.

John T. Williams will retain the title of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Mr. Clark joined the company in 2001 as Vice President Sales and Marketing and has led the sales effort since that time, developing a sales organization capable of selling the growing number of products the company manufactures. He has been a key player in helping guide the introduction of new products and territories.

V. Jamison, Sr. It has been in the same location in Hagerstown, MD, for all of its existence. J. V. Jamison, Sr., was president until his death in 1920 and was succeeded by his son, J. V. Jamison, Jr. who served until 1942 when his son, J. V. Jamison, 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt;, succeeded him, serving as President and Chairman until 1993. His daughter, Wye Jamison Allanbrook, succeeded him as Chairman from 1993 until 2000 when John T. Williams was named Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Since 2004 Jamison has added significantly to its product offerings including additional offerings under its main product line of insulated doors designed for use in cold storage facilities and the acquisition of HCR, Inc., a manufacturer of air doors based in Lewistown, MT. In 2005 Jamison expanded internationally and opened a manufacturing plant in Mexico City to make doors for the Mexican market. In 2012 it opened a new plant in Hagerstown and partnered with an Italian company to make high speed rollup doors under the Jamison/BMP name. In 2015 Jamison opened another plant in Hagerstown to make Jamotuf doors, a line of 1 ¾ “insulated molded fiberglass doors. &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Thu, 14 Dec 2017 20:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/32</guid></item><item><title>Creators Wanted: Jamison Door Company</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/creators-wanted-jamison-door-company</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;&#xd; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &lt;div class="sevlVideo"&gt;&#xd; &lt;div class="sevlPlayerContainer"&gt;&#xd; &lt;div class="sevlPlayer"&gt;&lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fJTJVvQN5G0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;/div&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;“Creators are wanted,” say many manufacturers across the United States. The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) is taking another step to populate the talent pipeline in America—with a new “Creators Wanted” video and infographic series. This year, on the NAM’s digital platforms, you’ll begin to see the makings of the NAM’s new initiative to show parents and teachers, and thereby children, what modern manufacturing really looks like today (and will look like tomorrow). According to the Manufacturing Institute, there will be 3.5 million jobs in modern manufacturing available over the next 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;By using the voices of employees from Jamison and other member companies, the National Association of Manufacturers hopes to deliver a message on key policies, issues and, all the while, changing the perception of manufacturing. Individual videos from local companies will be pieced together to a larger "Creators Wanted" campaign to be highlighted on social channels and the National Association of Manufacturer's website to help tell the story of modern manufacturing in America.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; </description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:57:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/post/31</guid></item><item><title>Jamison's 110th Anniversary</title><link>https://jamisondoor.com/about-jamison-doors/news/jamisons-110th-anniversary</link><author>admin@admin.com (Admin Admin)</author><description>&lt;p&gt;On Saturday February 27th, Jamison Door Company celebrated its 110th anniversary by throwing a luncheon for over 400 employees, retirees and members of the community.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd; &#xd; &lt;p&gt;Mr. John Williams, President and Chairman of the Board, gave a short speech explaining the company's success being due to its focus and commitment to Jamison's four key stakeholders: their stock holders, their employees, their community, and their customers.
