Pictured above is a 35 cubic yard wood-chip bucket Craig Manufacturing recently completed for a pulp and paper mill in New Brunswick. This bucket is one of our largest to date and will be put to work on a CAT 988H wheel loader. In an upcoming newsletter we'll be featuring pictures and video of the bucket on the machine, so stay tuned and keep an eye on our YouTube Channel to catch an early sneak peek!

In the fall of 2011 Craig Manufacturing partnered with Wajax Industries to build 12 couplers with 3.5 cubic yard General Purpose buckets for the City of Quebec. Pictured above is the impressive line-up of 10 of the 12 JCB 436ZX wheel loaders fitted with Craig Combo Couplers.

Craig Manufacturing's Cambridge, Ontario facility recently welcomed the addition of a new smoke extraction system. This new system captures welding smoke at the point of origin via adjustable arms and vents it out of the building. Each welding bay is equipped with the smoke extraction equipment in an effort to improve the air quality in the shop. The install bay is also equipped with this new system to vent out any exhaust that comes from running machines.

Every year at the Craig Manufacturing Christmas Party, employees who have shown their dedication to the company are recognized and awarded for their service. This year there were a total of 30 service awards given out to employees who have been with us for 5+ years. While we wish we could give all award winners a mention, it'd make for a rather long read. There are, however, 3 service award winners that we'd like to mention due to their monumental achievement. Trent Prosser (Shipping and Receiving Supervisor as well as Paintshop Supervisor) and Colden Wetmore (Operations Manager) who have been with Craig Manufacturing for 25 years. As well as Jerry McQuade (Engineer) who has been with Craig Manufacturing for 35 years! Thanks for all the hard work you do and the dedication you have shown to your jobs and our customers!
