A Message from Jon Styslinger

At Altec, Teamwork is and remains one of our core values. As we continue to move forward during this challenging time, we want to make sure you know how appreciated you are.

Please take a moment to watch a video statement from our President Jon Styslinger. A transcript is below for reference.

“Team Altec, with the incredible job that each of you have done and continue to do, it doesn’t seem like any of us, can say thank you enough. On behalf of all of us, thank you for everything that you have done to allow us to continue to work safely.

Many of you may be wondering how this has impacted our customers. Our demand for sales has continued to remain steady. Between new unit sales, stock unit sales, or Global Rentals, our customers have continued to require delivery and have needed our services. Whether it’s the storms that swept throughout the country last week or service that is necessary to keep the power restored, I can’t tell you how appreciative our customers have been that we’ve been here to support them.

From the crane operator in Tennessee that took delivery of a new unit that allowed him to remove large trees to restore power, to the contractor that had Global Rentals so that they could continue to support the utility or the utility itself that was very appreciative of our parts and service organization that allowed them to keep their trucks up and running during the storm restoration, it really underscored the essential function that our business performs in keeping the economy running and people safe.

Now, unfortunately, due to this virus, over 20 million Americans have lost their jobs with millions more potentially coming. In light of this, it is important that we all take just a moment and remember how fortunate and blessed we are to have the ability to continue to work and provide stability for our families, our communities and our customers.

Now again, I can’t thank each of you enough. Thank you for your dedication and hard work, thank you for your focus and commitment to our customers and most importantly, thank you for your focus and commitment to the health and well-being of your families, yourself and other associates. Since Altec was founded in 1929, we’ve always gotten through tough times and come out a better company. This time will be no different thanks to each and every one of you. Stay healthy, stay safe and God bless you all.”
