This week, we celebrated the retirement of Eniz Bajric after 23 years with Kendrick. We gathered as a team to thank Eniz for his years of dedication and commitment and to wish him all the best as he begins this well-earned retirement. Congratulations, Eniz, and thank you for 23 years of service. We wish you health, happiness, and plenty of time to enjoy what’s ahead. #Retirement #TeamKendrick #ThankYou

This week, we welcomed a new 390-ton injection molding press to our facility, the first of two that will be installed as part of our continued investment and growth. Seeing new equipment arrive on the floor is always a milestone, and this addition expands our capacity while strengthening our ability to support both existing and future customer programs. The second press will be arriving later this year, marking another step forward as we continue building the capabilities, capacity, and flexibility needed to support our customers for years to come. #InjectionMolding #Manufacturing #Automotive

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We are grateful for the freedoms their sacrifice made possible and extend our appreciation to all who have served. Wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #Manufacturing
