American Augers Holds Customer Day at Ohio Facility
August 21, 2012
American Augers held its second annual Customer Day June 21, at its 340,000-plus-sq ft facility in West Salem, Ohio, drawing customers from around the globe.
The event drew nearly 100 visitors, with some coming from as far as Latin America (Colombia, Argentina and Brazil), South Africa, New Zealand, France, Nigeria, China, Canada and Azerbaijan.
Activities for the day included a tour of the manufacturing operations. The day included live demos of the American Augers equipment. Demos included auger boring with its auger boring units being showcased at the facility’s auger boring pit. Other equipment on display included AA’s maxi and mid-size directional drills and mud systems, as well as its oil and gas drilling equipment. The demos also gave AA plant workers the opportunity to check out how the equipment they are building day in, day out is used. Attendees also tried their hand at guessing the weight of an 84-in. auger. The lunch was prepared by the local Amish community. The day concluded with a dinner event at the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
