One of the cool things about us being a family business is that not only is the ownership the company made up a family. But there are there are pockets of families that have been a part of this company for multi generations. I had the privilege of being able to work, alongside mister Gates. For a number of years, and that idea that you never just stop where you're at. There's always room for improvement, whether it's the processes we use to manufacture, or the products that we're making. Our concrete services division's been in business since nineteen ninety five. We've done work with gates from the outset. They were with us through the pre planning process, the designing of everything. The execution of everything. Their customer service is fantastic. The response time was great. And again, huge part of our success. Gates like get in on the ground floor before the job is even starting. One of the things that contractors are looking for today is the total solution. It's whether it's in the the design of the form work itself or even just helping them understand the sequencing of how we would use form in the most efficient manner. We work directly with our customers and with engineers to make sure our products are both efficient and safe for everyone. It almost feels like everyone is is family. And we certainly strive to treat everyone that way, and it's one of the things I love the most about working here. Fip's comp crete, and the Gates Corporation is truly a partnership. We've gotten to know these guys on a personal level over the years. Wouldn't have it any other it. I think there's a sense of pride in what we do because we are making the products that are helping build the cities and infrastructure throughout this country. Some pride in the fact that you're using American made products to build to build America.
