The Rosco Family at the Annual Thanksgiving Potluck |
Our Second Annual Potluck!
Rosco's annual Thanksgiving Potluck was a quite a sight this year. The Rosco family came together bringing their favorite dishes from different countries to create a big multi-cultural feast!
We had our traditional Thanksgiving dishes paired with cuisines from China, Italy, the West Indies, Korea, Latin America, Russia, and much more.
It was a great way to get a stomach ready for the food-filled Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the bountiful feast this year!

BSSK2000 Heavy Duty Backup Sensor Kit
|
|
New Product Alert!
BSSK1002
& BSSK2000
Rosco has added (2) new wired backup sensor systems to the BSSK product line that will be available as soon as mid to late January. The BSSK1002 comes with (4) sensors that can be flush mounted to the bumper or under mounted with the brackets included in the kit, but unlike the current wireless/transmitter version of the BSSK1000 series, the BSSK1002 has a harness connection from the rear of the vehicle at the sensor location, to the front driver informational display. This wired version helps to eliminate issues with RF and other possible interference sources. The BSSK2000 extra heavy duty backup sensor system for trucks comes with (4) bumper low mounted sensors and (2) roof high mounted sensors for extra coverage with overhead obstructions such as canopies.

Rosco to the Rescue at the Texas EMS Show
2016 was Rosco's first time exhibiting at the Texas EMS conference and it was a huge success. Exhibitors and attendees from across the country gathered in Dallas to learn about the latest advancements in the EMS industry. "Safety, Security, and Driver Awareness, were the main concerns of those that visited the Rosco booth," said Jim Fecile, Rosco National Sales Manager for Public Safety Products. "Joel and I were quite happy with the response to our safety products and the many leads generated at the show." Rosco's booth featured the DV440 Dual-Vision XC4 Continuous HD Video and Event Recorder, backup cameras, mirrors, and other vehicle safety systems.

2016 Winners - The Castaways, Left to Right: Christopher Puppo, Naresh Parasram, Nereshwar Persaud, & Chris Mikos |
The Biggest Loser Does It Again!
We featured Nereshwar Persaud in our October newsletter as the returning member from the Fruity Pebbles, the 2015 Biggest Loser Winners. He came back with a different team and went away with the Title again!
With jaw dropping results, the Castaways have taken the crown as Rosco's
2016 Biggest Loser Champions.
The Castaways lost a whopping 50 lbs equaling 5.73% of their starting weight! The team took the lead early on in the competition and never let go of their #1 spot.
"The competition was tough," said Naresh,"It was a team effort and we want to thank everyone for their support. I had to eat many green things to get the green$."
The team took home $600.00 in prize money and we're sure they rewarded themselves with a nice, hefty dinner!

Punen Reddi, Maintenance Supervisor |
Rosco Employee Spotlight
Punen Reddi
Maintenance Supervisor
As one of the longest tenured employees at Rosco, Punen Reddi began with Rosco in 1991. Starting as a Press Operator, Reddi soon came to supervise the 7 stage powder coating process for Rosco products, and now supervises the inventory and building maintenance in Rosco's 100,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility. "I like being a supervisor and making things easy for everyone. I like to help employees work smart, not work hard."
With 2016 coming to an end, we asked Punen Reddi to tell us about some of the changes he has seen at Rosco during his 25 years at the company.
"Rosco is growing... Everyday it's growing and it has changed a lot. We had a small building when I first started and now we have a building that's over 100,000 sq.ft." While Rosco keeps growing and changing, our dedicated and loyal employees like Reddi have stayed and grown with us over the years.
We are very proud and grateful to all of our Rosco staff, old and new, and would not be where we are today without everyone's hard work and dedication. Thank you to all!

Moonlighting as the Rosco Reindeer for the Holiday Season |
A Message From...
Happy Ho-Ho-Ho-Holidays Everyone!
We're just a few weeks away from ringing in 2017 and I'm excited for the new year. December is one of the nicest times of year in New York City... Holiday decorations at every turn including the Rockefeller Tree, holiday popup shops, and of course the hundreds of decorated store windows. New York really knows how to bring on the CHEER!
Welcoming a new year is always an exciting time at home and in the office. It's a good time to relive the ups and downs of 2016 and also think of ways to make 2017 a bigger and better year. This year is going to be hard to top, but I know it will happen with the continued support from all of our Rosco fans. Thank you always for your continued business and support!
Happy Holidays to All!
Amy Ahn-You
Marketing & Web Manager
