Allied Electronics Commemorates 85th Anniversary with Flag Raising
August 07 2013 - 9:10AM
Allied Electronics, a trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:
ECM), held a symbolic flag-raising ceremony at its corporate
offices in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday morning, August 6, 2013.
The event commemorated 85 years since the company's founding in
1928 as Allied Radio in Chicago, Ill.
Approximately 200 employees along with special guests, former
Allied president, David Yaniko, controller, Mark McKone and trade
show manager, Ruthette Raines, attended the flag raising and
enjoyed coffee and donuts. Scott McLendon, President of
Allied Electronics, opened the ceremony with a brief recounting of
the Allied history. "We have a rich 85 year history during
which we successfully navigated ever changing market
environments. Through the years, Allied remained focused on
delivering great customer experiences and it is that unwavering
focus that will see us grow and remain successful in the future. I
am proud and humbled to lead a company with our legacy,
accomplishments and team of people who make Allied a great place to
work." Klaus Göldenbot, Global Sales Director
for Electrocomponents plc, also attended the ceremony. "When I
visit Allied, I am always struck by two strong characteristics of
Allied employees," says Göldenbot. "The first is the focus to
deliver a great customer experience as Scott mentions, and the
second is the 'can-do' attitude of every Allied employee. These two
things are what sets Allied apart and are key to its past and
future success."
Throughout the day, Allied employees in more than 50 sales
offices across the country and in Canada held dozens of
celebrations to commemorate the company's 85th anniversary.
