Hunter Highlights Vol. 117

In the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, some Hunter employees, friends and family members and business partners decided to take action. Learning that Hunter representatives in the Gulf Coast regions had suffered significant property and financial loss, a group of employees organized a support drive quickly raising $18,775.00 to help affected Hunter team members get back on their feet. Word spread and contributions came in not only from Hunter’s St. Louis and Mississippi operations, but also from Hunter’s Sales and Service Organizations, extended family members and even some Hunter customers. When Hunter President Steve Brauer learned of the generosity and resourcefulness of those involved, he matched the amount already raised bringing the total to $37,550.00. By the end of October, all of the funds had been distributed to assist those affected by the storms.

One way Hunter invests in its sales and service organizations is through ongoing comprehensive training and education programs. The most recent National Heavy-Duty Sales Meeting brought the heavy-duty sales team to Hunter’s Research and Training Center in St. Louis for new product training seminars.
