Stellana Cancelling Participation at MODEX in Atlanta

-


Due to the concerns surrounding coronavirus, Stellana will no longer be exhibiting at the MODEX show. Scheduled to run next week, MODEX takes place in Atlanta, March 9-12, 2020. In addition, we had planned to pull our attendance from LogiMAT held in Germany the same week, but the show has since been canceled.

The health and safety of our employees is our primary concern. As the coronavirus continues to spread worldwide and nationally, we have decided that we will not be sending our team members to participate in the MODEX 2020 show.  

With an expected turnout of 30,000, the MODEX show brings together many visitors from throughout the United States and overseas, and there is a chance that the spread of the coronavirus will continue here.

While we looked forward to the valuable facetime with our customers, dealers, and vendors, we feel this is the best decision for the health and safety of its employees. Thank you for your understanding!

Local Company Shifts Production to Make Masks for Their Community

By now, we are all aware there is a PPE shortage for many of the workers who need protective equipment the most. One of the most talked-about items are masks.
We are also hearing how many companies are experiencing an extreme decline in business. A local company, PFI Fashions Inc., took what could be a negative situation and used their open capacity to make a very positive impact on their local community. 
Jodie and Billy Joe Todd, owners of PFI, took it upon themselves to begin manufacturing masks for those in need. Located in Genoa City, WI the full-service company specializes in screen printing, promotional products, and embroidery.

Within the course of a week, they have completely shifted their production focus to making washable, cotton face masks. They have been generously donating them to Aurora Hospital, local EMTs, and the other essential workers who need them the most.

Because of their hard work, we were able to purchase masks to keep our employees safer at Stellana. We want…

Long Live the Stellana Tire: A remarkable life of 9,190.40 hours

How long will a polyurethane tire last? This is a hard question to answer, and the best answer would be "it depends" because the life is not the same for any two products. Our engineers can calculate estimates for how long they should last, but the material, tire size, load, speed, floor, and environmental conditions all play a factor. The pictured tire may be an outlier, but its life span is pretty impressive. Bill Rohan, Parts Manager at Trupar America, sent us this photo of a diamond grooved Gmax™ tire that was just shy of turning four years old while on the job. After being placed on the equipment October 15, 2015, this tire just retired July 2, 2019, with total usage of 9190.40 hours. This tire's life in hours equates to 1 year and 18 days of use, but it was not running continuously. Impressively though, it was working around the clock approximately 47 hours a week over the last 193 weeks. This number, 9190.40, is over double a 4,000.00-hour life – which would be c…
