🚨 Welcome our newest team member at CMC! 🚨 Meet CC – short for Cardboard Curt.

Remember that trailer of tanks being delivered last month?

We’re excited to say that our fearless maintenance team is finally getting them installed in our Huxley facility this week!

Have no fear, no maintenance team members were harmed in the movement and installation of tanks, even if they did a great job of acting like they were doing the heavy lifting!

When it's 90 degrees outside there's nothing that beats ice cream sandwiches to say thanks to our team for continuing to get things done!

As you can see it was a huge hit in Huxley, we're excited to continue the ice cream parade tomorrow with our Madrid team!
