At Induron, we strive to have a family atmosphere. Though we are not perfect and do have some disagreements from time to time, we do like to celebrate.
One of our favorite celebrations is our annual Christmas Luncheon. It enables us to slow down for a minute and enjoy some fellowship before the holidays. Continue reading Induron’s Annual Christmas Luncheon & Safety Record

As the Christmas season comes to an end, it’s hard not to reminisce on the special memories and traditions that the holiday holds. One of my favorite Christmas memories is my dad dressing up as Santa Claus and bringing joy to the Birmingham community.

From our Induron family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season! As we take time to celebrate and count our blessings this holiday season, we realize that we have many, many things to be thankful for.

Can you believe we’re already approaching the holiday season? It seems like just yesterday I was writing about the opportunities that 2016 presented for Induron. This holiday season we have many, many things to be thankful for. For instance, this year, Induron was featured in Water & Wastes Digest, recognized for our blogging efforts, launched a new product and hired three new team members (Andy Odorzynski, Paul Powers and David Barnell)—and those are just a few of the highpoints! We are so thankful to everyone we work with for helping make 2016 a fantastic year for Induron. We couldn’t have done it without you!

“’Tis the Season to be Jolly!” That’s something I try to live by, especially during the holiday season, and there are very few things that make me happier than time spent with loved ones.
Thanks to The Birmingham Ballet, I had the opportunity to spend quite a bit of time over the last two months with my two daughters doing something that THEY both truly love… dancing. As a father of daughters, opportunities to do things with my girls take a little bit of creativity. They are not interested in the same things I was a child – football, wrestling and anything cowboy don’t fit in with their love of all things pink.
However, The Nutcracker gave me an opportunity to spend some time with them… on stage performing! To get ready for the performance, I got to rehearse with them every Saturday for two months and spend several hours in the car going to and from the Ballet Studio. There were, of course, several Icee stops involved!
Pictured is my Nutcracker family. The smiles on my two daughters’ faces were as genuine as could be – and so was mine! I know that this post has little to do with industrial coatings or business in general, but Christmas is a time for us all to remember what is truly important. Family and quality time are important to me and the whole Induron Family!
Now that December is in full swing, we’re getting excited for the holidays! Here are some of the Induron Family’s favorite holiday traditions:
“Once the grandchildren were all old enough that money was the gift they cherished the most, my mother-in-law felt they should work for it. She rolled up $50 bills as tightly as possible and then hid one for each grandchild in the Christmas tree. Now that she’s in her 80’s, she has a few son-in law elves to assist with the process. While hiding the money, the elves assure themselves that the location of the $50 bills will not be forgotten, but each year there is always one that takes multiple parties to find. Last year, it was a full day and a half before the last bill was discovered!” –Dick Belliveau, Induron Sales Rep
“I have three favorite Christmas traditions: I love lighting our Christmas tree with as many different styles and colors of lights as is humanly possible. I also love hiding our ‘Elf-on-the-Shelf’ in different locations throughout the house and having my two elementary school age daughters search for ‘Sizzle’ every December morning. And as a child, I loved visiting the Santa Claus that always stopped by my grandfather’s house on Christmas Eve and letting him know exactly what I wanted the next morning.” –Davies Hood, Induron President
“Santa’s gifts under the tree always arrived unwrapped, in a big burlap sack that Santa had left there. It sure added to the excitement on Christmas morning for my three daughters! Now, with the kids grown, nostalgia has set in. For the past five years, all our decorations have been ‘vintage,’ including the aluminum Christmas tree with the color wheel.” –John Anspach, Induron Technical Director Continue reading Our Favorite Holiday Traditions
