Umesh – AMETEK HCC industries
“I wanted to thank each of you for your assistance with our undertaking of this huge shipment. You have been very
patient with me in answering all questions and as I stated the driver was outstanding!!!! He helped with the entire load,
made suggestions and just went above and beyond what he probably had to do. We are so grateful, this was a very tough
job.”
Terri – Stamper Black Hills Gold
No matter how big or how small your company, Adv. Chemical treats you with equal respect. They go out of their way
to teach you about the refining process, painstakingly looked at my bits and scraps of metal to determine how to
maximize my tiny scrap. But there is something else happening here. Everyone at Adv. Chemical is friendly, even the
security guard who after 1 1/2 years feels like he has died and gone to employment heaven. Something is going right in
there. I feel it. You should all be very, very proud.

they made me feel welcome. I appreciate all of their friendliness and hospitality.”
