The McCloskey and Company Team of Joe McCloskey, Gene Jenkins, Brian Hughes and Stephen Baxter traveled to Branson, Missouri last week for a Sales Meeting with Gilbert Industries. Gilbert specializes in stainless steel and alloy storage vessels and reactors. They have the capability of fabricating in the shop or field erecting tanks with a proprietary lifting system.
The meeting was led by Shane Nicholson the VP of sales and he began with a presentation on where sales have been and the goals of the future. He also covered some improvements
Gilbert has made to their engineering and sales department. The McCloskey team also gave a presentation on some highlights and future target accounts.
Our second day of the meeting we went out to the fabrication plant in Sparta, MO. We were given and extensive plant tour that allowed us to see projects that were under way, pieces already lined up for future projects and finished tanks.
The meeting wrapped up with Josh Gilbert bringing in the internal team to meet the outside sales team and led a discussion on how important communication between everyone so that the products that Gilbert Industries manufacture are the best in the industry.
Our trip ended in St Louis where we had a chance to have dinner with our dear friend Kurt Lehman. However coming out of the restaurant these southern gentlemen were in for surprise…..The snow was nice to see it was also a sign for us to head home.
