Welcome to the third issue of NatCem News. We appreciate the feedback and welcome your comments and suggestions. Good things are happening at our company, and I am proud of our people, our projects, and the innovation and growth occurring here.

In every issue we emphasize safety. It is that important for all of us, and it’s a matter of personal importance to me and our management team. We have outstanding talent in the company working on our safety programs and processes. That’s good.

But at the end of the day, safety is everyone’s job. It is up to each of us to keep ourselves safe and look out for our fellow employees. That is immensely important on the job, just as it is important with our families and friends outside of work.
