Happy 5-Year Work Anniversary, Noah Peterson!

Noah leads our late shift and plays an important role in keeping our SMT operations moving each day. We appreciate the leadership, and experience he has brought to the team over the past five years.

To mark the occasion, Noah received a card and a cake inspired by one of his favorite hobbies, garage sales and the many treasures he’s managed to uncover over the years. Apparently, finding great deals takes the same persistence as keeping an SMT line running smoothly.

Congratulations on 5 years, Noah! Thank you for everything you do for Burton EMS and for the late-shift team. Here’s to many more years — and many more garage-sale finds!

Congratulations and thank you to Greg Vallone for 25 incredible years with Burton EMS!

Greg is well known at Burton for his dedication, long hours, and incredible knowledge of Surface Mount Technology—especially when it comes to SMT machines. If there’s something to know about surface mount, chances are Greg knows it.

How does he have all that energy to bring the 'A' game everyday? Probably has something to do with his love of sweets and chocolate milk! So, naturally, we celebrated 25 years with a W***y Wonka-themed cake.

Greg also received a card and a very special anniversary gift: his beloved, but retired PC, SMT-LEAD!

Thank you, Greg, for 25 years of knowledge, dedication, hard work, and countless contributions to Burton EMS. Congratulations on an amazing milestone!

Thank you, David, for all that you do, and congratulations!

Congratulations to SMT Production Supervisor Ryan Abramson on his 15-year anniversary with Burton EMS!

Ryan officially reached this milestone on June 6, but he was away serving our country on deployment with the Michigan National Guard. We were proud to celebrate his anniversary when he returned to work last week.

Ryan serves with the Michigan National Guard as part of the 1432nd Engineer Company. We are grateful for his 15 years of dedication and leadership at Burton EMS, and we sincerely thank him for his service to our nation.

Congratulations, Ryan, and thank you for all you do both at Burton EMS and in uniform!

Machine Operator John Berto and Test Technician Norman Sandow celebrated milestone work anniversaries at Burton EMS this week!

We recognized John for 15 years with the company with a Detroit Tigers cake, and Norman chose to celebrate his 5-year anniversary with a sausage and cheese plate! Both also received a card and a special gift in appreciation of their hard work and dedication.

Please join us in congratulating John and Norman—thank you both for everything you do!
