STW Technic Gives Back Through Annual Habitat For Humanity Workday

NORCROSS, Ga. - Aug. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- STW Technic Gives Back Through Annual Habitat For Humanity Workday

Employees at STW Technic, a premier manufacturer of mobile controllers and measurement technology, continued their tradition of giving back to their local community through a Habitat for Humanity Workday and contribution benefiting Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity.

STW Technic (www.stw-technic.com) employees worked on a variety of tasks including installing siding and building a front porch, under the supervision of Habitat for Humanity’s construction supervisors.  The day went by quickly as the manual labor was quite exotic and refreshing to people who generally work in an office in front of a computer all day.

The event supports STW Technic’s values of supporting the local communities they operate in while helping team building within the organization. Bob Geiger, President of STW Technic, said, “STW Technic’s parent company in Germany, STW, has a long history of public service and giving back to the community, so it is only natural that we continue that tradition here in the U.S. We wanted to continue the tradition we had started last year as it had been a memorable event for the employees, allowing us to donate not only money but also our time and labor. Doing the work and learning the story behind the family we are building for gives us a stronger sense of involvement and serves as a team building exercise as well.”

Lynn Weekley, Volunteer Coordinator, Gwinnett Habitat for Humanity, added, “Contributions from midsized companies like STW not only benefit Habitat for Humanity by helping us continue our mission to provide basic, affordable housing for working families; but they also help build the community by strengthening neighborhoods. We deeply appreciate STW's willingness to be a repeat volunteer company to help us continue our mission”
