UPG Enterprises' Chris Hutter sends letter to Synalloy employees and stakeholders.
Fellow Synalloy Stockholder,
In case you missed it, last week Chris Hutter sent a letter to Synalloy employees and stakeholders regarding the path to a brighter future.
In his letter, Mr. Hutter explains why he believes that installing new leadership can unlock significant value at Synalloy.
Through collaboration, innovation and operational excellence, Synalloy can be a superior partner to employees, customers, vendors and community stakeholders.
Mr. Hutter promises all stakeholders that he and his fellow nominees will help bring the roll-up-your-sleeves mentality of an operator to Synalloy’s boardroom and executive team.
Our five, highly-qualified director candidates will work to do what is best for employees, provide individual and collective growth opportunities, consider everyone’s opinions and act with integrity as we represent Synalloy.
You have a chance to install the right leadership with the right strategic plan at Synalloy by voting the WHITE proxy card at this year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 30.
For more information on how to vote the WHITE proxy card, visit www.StrengthenSynalloy.com.
