Customer Feedback:

I just wanted to let you know… A while back, on your Hagerman site, you showed me the web page on Workforce Development Grants and Tax Credit and suggested that it might be something we can take advantage of.

As a direct result of that conversation, we applied for the Kentucky STIC tax credit and we were just awarded a $30,000 tax credit that we will be using toward our Lean training efforts over the next 12 months. This is a HUGE savings for us and offers our employees access to training that will give them the skills they need to grow and further their careers at Dant. We deeply appreciate you bringing this opportunity to our attention. This opportunity echoes one of our values and beliefs so well that is called “Everyone Wins” that states “We operate in a manner that provides the greatest value to everyone involved. Our customers enjoy the best products, services and price available in the industry. Our employees, community and owners benefit from continuous improvement and steady sustained growth. Our suppliers enjoy a partnership with the mutual goal of providing unsurpassed products and solutions for the best price.”

I just wanted to take time out to say “thanks” on behalf of all of us at Dant. It’s these kind of positive interactions that keep reminding us that Hagerman is a great add to our extended team and together we will continue to grow Dant which in turn provides opportunities for Hagerman as well.

Thanks so much!
