American Fan

At American Fan, we believe in the importance of giving back to the communities we serve. That’s why we’re proud to have partnered once again with Shared Harvest Foodbank for our latest volunteering effort. This long-standing collaboration allows us to contribute to a cause close to our hearts, ensuring families in need have access to essential resources. The teamwork and dedication shown by our volunteers inspire us all, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact together. A big thank you to Shared Harvest for their incredible work and for letting us play a small part in their mission. #CommunityImpact #GivingBack #Teamwork #AmericanFan

On December 13th, American Fan had the pleasure of hosting our Annual Holiday Party at the Bennison Event Center! The evening was filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, exciting casino games, giveaways, a dance competition, and our very own FAN-Y awards. We want to extend heartfelt thanks to our Operations team, Engagement team, and, of course, our talented Dance-Off competitors for making the event unforgettable. The Operations team went above and beyond by creating the FAN-Y awards, a fun spin on the "Dundees," to celebrate the joy and camaraderie within our team. The Engagement team played a key role in planning and organizing the festivities, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. And let’s not forget the Dance-Off contestants—Marty, Andrew, Deon, Jim, Greg, and Chuck—who brought the energy and kept us thoroughly entertained. A special congratulations to our Finance Director, Greg Lewis, who wowed everyone and took home the crown as this year’s Dance-Off champion. It was a fantastic way to wrap up a successful year with an incredible team!

Last Thursday, American Fan hosted around 65 senior students from Butler Tech's Welding Program, a local trade school. Our team, including managers from various departments, provided guided tours showcasing our work and processes and learning more about the marine defense industry. Students gained industry insights and participated in a Q&A session, receiving advice as they prepare for their careers. We look forward to welcoming these talented individuals into the workforce and continuing our partnership with Butler Tech and its incredible students. Thank you for visiting!

Last Friday, we celebrated over 350 years of combined service at American Fan. Our wonderful employees, along with their guests, were invited to a Tenure Banquet this morning at the Oscar Event Center. We deeply appreciate our team's dedication and ongoing commitment to the company's success.

On November 20th, our team united for Men's Health by wearing BLUE. Throughout the week, we set up a table with pins, stickers, blue-themed candy and chips, and support bracelets. These were available for employees to engage with the cause and learn more about Men's Health. We also captured a memorable group photo featuring everyone who wore BLUE or picked up a BLUE ribbon pin or bracelet. Proud to see our team support such an important cause!

Last week, American Fan got into the Fall spirit and threw their annual Fall Holiday picnic. The day was filled with competition and comradery as employees had the opportunity to compete in four Fall-themed events. Our festivities included a Chili cook-off, a bakery competition, a pumpkin carving contest, and a costume contest! Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the winners!
