AR Team Travels To Portland, Oregon.

Malarkey Plant Tour 3/20/2018

Our busy season is in full swing but I finally got some time to talk about our trip! Our AR office staff got to take an overnight trip to Portland, Oregon last month to do a Malarkey Roofing Products plant tour!!! This was the first plant tour anyone in our office has had the chance to experience so far and it was one we will not forget.

On March 20th, 2018 we left Washington to drive down to Portland, we stopped in the Centralia area for a late breakfast at Country Cousin. And all we had to say after that was YUM.

We then drove straight to the plant to begin our tour. We met with our lovely tour guide Rachel, who also generously provided us with some SERIOUS Malarkey swag.

Here are a few pictures from the plant tour:

After a few hours of learning how these products are made, meeting friendly employees and getting some Malarkey family history we proceeded to our hotel to check in and get some rest before dinner and... drum roll please... A PORTLAND TRAILBLAZER NBA GAME!!

At around 5pm the group of us met in the lobby of our hotel to walk over to Claim Jumper to enjoy a lovely meal and some serious laughs! After our bellys were full we headed over to the Moda Center for the basketball game.

After our day started winding down, we realized how grateful we were to get to experience this and grow our knowledge in our industry. We work with these materials on a daily basis and had never stopped to think about how these products are created or where they come from. It is our goal to be as knowledgeable as possible so we are able to provide confidence to our customers.

Lastly, we are sending a big THANK YOU to our rep, Renee and Malarkey Roofing Products for making all of this happen.
