Kloeckner Metals: Giving Back to the Community
Written by Sandy Williams
March 13, 2018
Kloeckner Metals is launching a new program called KloecknerCares to find ways to support the communities where employees live and work. The program will serve as a vehicle for employees to become involved in local organizations and help those in need through donations and volunteering.
Kloeckner branches can continue to support the needs of local organizations, as well as develop ideas for how the company can give back effectively to the community. Kloeckner Metals plans on identifying a companywide charitable opportunity in 2019.
“Kloeckner Metals is not just a business – it’s family,” said John Ganem, CEO of Kloeckner Metals. “It’s filled with people who care about each other and their communities, and we’ve implemented this program to help causes that matter to our employees.”
