𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝘀! 👏 The spirit of the season took over during a jam-packed training session at the Wisconsin Applications Lab earlier this month. Our crafty trainee 𝗝𝗲𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴 from Azelis Canada’s sales team asked if we could turn our cement mortar and epoxy samples into Christmas ornaments, and we delivered! 𝗝𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹, construction lab manager, helped make cement tile grout ornaments while 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝘀, CASE lab manager, helped make epoxy ornaments. With a little magic from Jeeyoon’s Cricut, we were able to quickly turn out dozens of beautiful ornaments to gift our colleagues. Azelis additives are everywhere, and now they are on Christmas trees! 🎄 #weareazelis

Hunger Task Force is an anti-hunger public policy organization in Milwaukee that works to end hunger by providing direct food delivery to food pantries, soup kitchens and homeless shelters. With a strong sense of community spirit, team members worked together efficiently, sorting items and carefully assembling the boxes to ensure that each package contained essential supplies. These efforts promoted camaraderie among the team along with making a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. By the end of the morning, the team had packed 600 boxes! A big thank you and recognition to all our CASE employees who consistently work as a team to better our communities! 🙌 #weareazelis #HungerTaskForce

The Azelis Labs go the extra mile for our customers! 🔬 July is the month Azelis celebrates the contributions of our Laboratories and Lab personnel. The CASE labs pride ourselves on our ability to deliver rapid and flexible solutions, even under the most demanding timelines. Recently a customer approached us with an urgent request for comprehensive testing on a new resin product before a major CASE industry event. This was crucial for the customer to demonstrate the product's capabilities to both current clients and potential new customers.

Azelis response: 🌟 How our lab responded to the challenge: • Allocating dedicated laboratory facilities and personnel to the project • Careful planning and intense execution to ensure the testing would be completed in the short time frame • The lab team, led by project head Sydney Johnson, working tirelessly to bring the project in on time The result: Our Lab delivered in time to meet the deadline, and because of that, our client was armed with the critical data needed for presentation to customers at the event. Our customer was delighted with the lab's support and communication throughout the project. 🙌 For more information on how our lab met our customer’s requirements, check out this article on our customer portal: https://lnkd.in/eCmqvXRW What can we do for you?
