Armor Protective Packaging

We've been having a wonderful time at AutoPack, connecting with packaging professionals, meeting new neighbors, and catching up with familiar faces.

Our Mr. Rogers-inspired booth may be small, but the conversations have been mighty. We've appreciated every opportunity to learn about your packaging needs, discuss corrosion protection strategies, and explore ways we can help.

Just like Mr. Rogers taught us, a great neighborhood is built on relationships, trust, and looking out for one another. That's exactly what makes events like AutoPack so valuable.

If you're at the show, there's still time to stop by and say hello to Jeff & Candee. We'd love to meet you, neighbor! 🏡

Today we're celebrating three team members who have helped shape ARMOR through a combined 45 years of service.

From helping customers through ARMOR Chat, to leading teams, to supporting employees and customers alike, Jeremy, Wes, and Nicole each play an important role in making ARMOR the company it is today.

And when they're not at work?

🍗 Jeremy enjoys family time and chicken wings.

🏖️ Wes enjoys beach vacations.

📦 Packaging matters. Protection matters. People matter.

That's why we're excited to be attending the Automotive Packaging Summit (AutoPack) in a few days. The event brings together packaging professionals, suppliers, and industry leaders focused on building smarter, more effective packaging solutions.

At ARMOR, we know the journey doesn't end when a part leaves the plant. From moisture control and corrosion prevention to protecting quality throughout the supply chain, we're looking forward to sharing ideas and learning from others in the packaging community.

See you in Greenville!

One thing we've been reminded of at PERA this week?

The engine remanufacturing industry is built on expertise, craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality.

We've enjoyed the opportunity to connect with remanufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals who are passionate about continuous improvement and keeping engines performing at their best.

Thank you to everyone who's stopped by to share ideas, experiences, and challenges with us.

Engines get rebuilt.

Relationships get built, too.

That's one of the reasons Charl is excited to be at PERA this week.

Beyond the presentations and exhibits, we're looking forward to connecting with the people who make this industry what it is, sharing ideas, learning from each other, and finding new ways to help protect remanufactured components from corrosion during storage and shipment.

Here's to a great week of collaboration, innovation, and a little shop talk along the way.

🎓 With our Back to School series, it's Field Trip Day!

Today's destination? 📦 Following a shipment from Point A to Point B.

A lot can happen during transit:
🚚 Transportation delays
🌧️ Environmental exposure
🌡️ Extreme temperatures
💧 Moisture and humidity

A shipment may leave your facility in perfect condition and arrive somewhere very different if corrosion risks aren't properly managed.

That's why understanding the supply chain is an important part of any rust prevention strategy.

We headed to the PERA Conference in Springfield, Missouri this week.

At ARMOR, we're proud to support an industry dedicated to extending product life, improving sustainability, preserving resources, and delivering quality products back into service.

We look forward to connecting with engine remanufacturers, suppliers, and industry leaders as we continue the conversation around protecting components from corrosion throughout storage and shipment.

See you soon, Springfield!

📍 We're looking for more than a Plant Manager. We're looking for a leader.

At ARMOR, our new Plant Manager will play a key role in shaping the future of our operations, developing team members, driving continuous improvement, and helping us deliver an exceptional experience to both employees and customers.

This is an opportunity to lead a talented team within an award-winning manufacturing company.

🎉 Thank You, IMTS! 🎉

What a week in Chicago!

From great conversations and new connections to sharing a little Detroit flavor with our custom Vernors cans, IMTS was one for the books.

To everyone who stopped by the ARMOR booth, shared a challenge, asked a question, grabbed a Vernors, or simply introduced themselves, thank you.

We appreciate the opportunity to learn about your business, discuss corrosion prevention solutions, and build new relationships along the way.

Until next time, IMTS.
