🌟 Associate Spotlight: Chad Bright 🌟

Chad has gone above and beyond in expanding his skills and making an impact in the quality lab at AstenJohnson - Clinton site.

✅ He learned all lab processes, including new and returned felt testing, and writing reports reviewed by both the field and customers.
✅ Through testing new felt samples, Chad also gained valuable knowledge about felt construction, a process outside his original weaving experience.
✅ He played a key role in streamlining the new felt sample storage process and conducted time studies to help improve lab testing efficiency.

At AstenJohnson we believe in supporting the communities where we live and work. Thanks to the generosity of our associates, we raised over $1,700 to split between Laurens Memorial Home in Clinton, SC and the Sheds of Hope rebuilding efforts in Western NC!

Our associates not only donate but also volunteer their time and skills to support these causes. This effort was especially meaningful because it stemmed from an act of kindness toward us—after Hurricane Helene hit our site, donated generators helped our associates until power was restored. In the spirit of paying it forward, we raffled off those same generators to raise funds and continue blessing others in need.

We are proud of our team for coming together to make a real impact. Thank you to everyone who participated—you are what makes AstenJohnson great!

Money from the raffle went toward electrical supplies for tiny homes being outfitted for residents of western North Carolina who lost their homes to Hurricane Helene.

AstenJohnson's Clinton team showcased their skills and sportsmanship, contributing to the tournament's success. Their participation not only highlighted their commitment to community support, but also underscored the importance of coming together for a noble cause.
