Tour Dixon Valve
Join us on June 21st when we visit the Headquarters of Dixon Valve in Chestertown, MD. With distribution centers around the globe, Dixon has grown to become a leading innovator in the hose coupling industry.  Dixon is committed to delighting customers by being the easiest company they do business with every day.

This is our last tour before summer. We will resume with a full schedule beginning in September!
Thank you, Northrop Grumman! Almost 40 of us gathered to hear from Northrop's World Class Ops team and senior leaders. We were most definitely witnessing their journey to world class and we felt the enthusiasm when they spoke of their goals and vision. There is a most palpable culture of excitment and pride. We can't wait to go back.
KICK OFF SUMMER WITH OUR
FIRST ANNUAL CRAB FEAST!

Following the plant tour on June 21st at Dixon Valve, join us as we sit back and enjoy the view of the gorgeous Kent Narrows in Queen Anne's County. There will be plenty to eat including, of course, summer's main event in Maryland -- steamed crabs!
