Get Ready to Grill!
Grilled Tuna June 28 , 2007

4th of July is the biggest grilling day of the year. Burgers, brats, hot dogs… it’s all served in style, surrounded by the red, white, and blue.

Well, at Doig, we like to class things up, so this year I’m sharing my personal favorite grilling recipe… one that’s unique and won’t be found on every deck in the neighborhood.

I hope you enjoy this delicious dish and have fun with your own 4th of July grilling
madness.

A Working Workout
February, 2006

Workout GroupFor over a year, Doig employees have participated in a lunch-time health and wellness program complete with 2 sessions for exercising. Membership now includes 33% of the company!


Did You Know?
On-site exercise programs can improve job performance, according to a 6-week study of 210 women and men conducted at the University of Bristol. On days when participants exercised, they were an average of 15 percent more productive, got along better with coworkers, and managed their time more efficiently than on days they didn't work out. Researchers say getting the blood pumping energizes employees, increases their level of concentration, and makes them more tolerant of heavy workloads.

Kristina Participates In Bowl For Kids' Sake
Big Brothers Big SistersKristina SjobergFebruary, 2005

You may be under the assumption that all Doig employees devote 100% of their lives to the betterment of Doig Corporation. While the devotion aspect is absolutely true, Doig employees also find success while participating in extra-curricular and community activities outside of work. Kristina Sjoberg is the perfect example. In February 2005, Kristina organized a sponsor team for the fundraising campaign Bowl for Kids’ Sake. This annual event raises funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County, America’s preeminent youth mentoring organization that creates and nurtures friendships between adults and children.
Team captain, Kristina, has participated in the event for three years now and even won the highly-coveted Spirit Award in 2004. She exclaims, “For me, the greatest satisfaction comes from knowing we’ve helped kids in our own community.” An added bonus: Kristina was able to recruit Doig inside sales member, Kim Infalt, to join the team and all the bowling fun this year! We just hope the ladies are as good at bowling as our own, Randy Jung!

It's A Boy!

Rich Braga and Bob DoigDecember, 2004

We’d like to thank our customers once again for helping us become Tol-O-Matic’s 2004 “Top Distributor.” This award -given to Doig for three years in a row- is a testament to the loyalty of our customers, the awesome Tol-O-Matic automation products, and Doig’s commitment to understanding and applying technology.


Congratulations to Mike Edminster, Doig's new Engineering Manager
Mike EdminsterNovember 1, 2004

Mike Edminster has been part of the Doig Engineering and Technology Department since June 2001, and on November 1st, he was promoted to the position of engineering manager. One of the advantages Mike brings to this new position is 25 years experience in an engineering capacity. One of Mike’s goals as the engineering manager is to bring in additional engineering personnel to better assist customers. Mike also wants to redesign the engineering department, complete with functional demos and a test lab that will aid both Doig engineers and future customer projects.

Prior to Doig, Mike was employed by Exacto Spring as a controls engineer. He also held engineering positions at recognizable companies such as Mark2 Automation, Kohler Co., and Doerr Electric. A Grafton native, Mike holds an engineering degree in industrial electronics.

He has been married to his high-school sweetheart, Kim, for 25 years and has three daughters and two adorable grandsons that were featured in the last DoigTalk (Fall, 2004). Mike enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing. All of which, he admits, he is “mediocre at best.” Unfortunately, the critics agree. Mike’s last hunting adventure only rendered a deer on the front fender.

Pat Binder: Telesales for all of Wisconsin
Pat BinderSeptember 7, 2004

Congratulations to Pat Binder, Doig's new telesales professional. A long time resident of Ozaukee County, Pat and her husband Tom live in Mequon. They have two grown children, Kyle and Corey, and a grandson, Cameron.

Pat has seen many sides of sales and the service industry. For a time, she and her husband owned their own business. She’s spent time in retail and has worked in both inside and outside sales in industries including telecommunications and food distribution.

Outside of work, Pat likes golfing, reading, bicycling and Pilates. She’s also a sports fan; she and Tom are involved in their grandson’s athletic endeavors (baseball, basketball, football, etc.) She follows the Packers and Badgers too. She also enjoys spending time with her large extended family, with many relatives in southeast Wisconsin. Pat’s mantra: “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

Mindy DonaldSummer, 2004

This summer, Doig Corporation was lucky to have a Mindy Donald as a high school intern.

Mindy Donald, sophomore at Ozaukee High School, was a tremendous help this summer as the marketing intern. This talented athlete took a break from her busy schedule of cross-country, soccer, basketball, and softball to help with Doig’s database updates, direct mailings, literature maintenance, and other odd jobs. In her spare time, Mindy likes to do anything that is outdoors: water skiing, hiking, four-wheeling... oh yes! And dancing with the Doig girls!

Congratulations to Kevin Timm, Doig's new Application Technician
Kevin TimmApril 1, 2004

Kevin Timm has earned a promotion to the position of Engineering & Technology Department Application Technician Safety/Extrusion (the title was a bit long, folks, so you’ll see “Application Technician” on the business cards.) His excellent performance over the years with our aluminum extrusion product lines made him the perfect candidate to head up Doig’s safety products. Due to an increase in customer demand and depth of commitment towards safety products, it became inevitable that the Engineering & Technology Department needed to expand. Kevin will be responsible for assisting customers and our sales staff in all aspects of safety applications.

Congratulations to Tina Krause, Doig's new Materials Manager
March 1, 2004

Tina KrauseTina Krause has been part of the Doig sales team since April 1997 and on March 1, 2004 accepted the position of materials manager. In this new role, Tina is responsible for purchasing, inventory management, and supervising both the warehouse and extrusion departments. One of the advantages that Tina brings to this position is her extensive experience as a sales person; she knows and understands the needs of the customer. Some of Tina’s goals as the materials manager are to continuously improve Doig’s on-time percentage as well as evaluate the inventory levels for optimum stocking. When asked about her new promotion, Tina replies, "I am excited by the continuous innovative changes and progression of the company while it still maintains the small-company, family-owned feel. And, I truly appreciate the endless opportunity to personally grow within Doig."

2003 Tol-O-Matic Award
Bob Doig and Rich BragaDecember, 2003

For the second year in a row, Doig Corporation was awarded the "Top Distributor" award from Tol-O-Matic. Thanks to Tol-O-Matic's Rich Braga, who delivers the honor each year and treats us all to a award-winning feast!

Doig Awarded Top Distributor from ControlAir Inc.
September 11, 2003

Lobster bakes and boils have long been a tradition in New England; however, ControlAir Inc. decided the folks on the east coast should not have all the fun. On Thursday, September 11th, ControlAir treated all the employees of Doig Corporation to an unforgettable lobster boil party on the beach of Lake Michigan in Port Washington. The event was in celebration of Doig achieving the ControlAir Number Two Distributor Award this past September.
To thank the organization for their fine efforts, dozens of live lobsters were flown in from Maine for an end-of-summer party.
It was quite a sight to see Doig members tying plastic bibs around their necks and digging in! When the last of the lobster tails was devoured, the employees were a mess; however, clean up was easy with just a few playful dips into the icy waters of Lake Michigan.

Doig Receives "Top Distributor" Award from Tol-O-Matic
Rich Braga, Bob DoigDecember, 2003

For the first time in our history, Doig Corporation was awarded the “Top Distributor” award from Tol-O-Matic. We were the nation’s largest distributor for Tol-O-Matic motion control products and the nation’s largest overall distributor.
We are honored and humbled by this accomplishment, but the real reason for our success is the loyalty of our customers, the dedication of our sales force to continually provide cost-effective, productivity-enhancing solutions for our customers, and the awesome performance of Tol-O-Matic as a supplier of linear automation products. Congrats to all!
