BLUSA Defense team members participated in the ALS Walk at Citizens Bank Park this weekend (11/19/22), as part of team

Always Loving Stacy.  The team, with over 150 people, walked to raise funds benefitting the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the ALS Association for ALS research, towards treatments and a cure.

For the second year in a row, team Always Loving Stacy was the largest team to participate in the annual event, and was also this year’s biggest fundraiser.

Thank you to all who participated by walking and/or donating.

On Friday, September 2 we gathered for a company-wide barbeque to honor our team members ahead of the Labor Day holiday.

Lots of fun was had, and lots of hot dogs were eaten and enjoyed!

Did you know….

We were excited to welcome Congressman Donald Norcross to BLUSA, to meet our team and tour our facility. Congressman Norcross is very supportive of South Jersey’s small business community, and has a strong interest in the defense manufacturing industry as a member of the House Armed Services Committee on which he serves.

While on-site, the Congressman met with several BLUSA team members, discussing their individual backgrounds and their experiences working at BLUSA. He toured the production floor to get a first-hand look at our cutting-edge technology.

We look forward to inviting Congressman Norcross back to BLUSA, in the near future.

On July 21, we were visited by our Global Shop Solutions Customer Success Manager Cristina Patton, and Continuous Improvement Team Manager Daniel Carranco.  Cristina and Daniel stopped by to launch new functionality within our Global Shop program, training us on-site on enhancements that will allow for greater efficiency with the software.

Their visit also afforded an opportunity for them to tour our facility, and see first-hand the work we do and how we implement Global Shop on an everyday basis.  We enjoyed the visit!
