Recap: Warehouse Worker Appreciation Week

Last week on LinkedIn, we put the spotlight on our warehouse team.

This team of professionals is the backbone of Cimco. They’re the ones behind the scenes making sure orders go out right and on time, and they work tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly. Day in and day out, they live out our values—showing trust, partnership, professionalism, and a willingness to step up whenever it’s needed.

We’re grateful for the skill, energy, and reliability they bring to the job every single day.

In case you missed it: here are some fun facts about the guys, including how they see our company values in action from the warehousing perspective.
