A Season of Gratitude
As the year comes to a close, it’s natural to pause and reflect—not just on what we accomplished, but on what made it all possible. For us at Pigler Automation, 2025 has been a year defined by growth, collaboration, and a renewed focus on company culture and employee recognition. It’s been a time of figuring out what works, learning from each other, and strengthening the partnerships that keep us moving.
We often measure progress through projects, systems, and solutions—but the reality is, people have driven every success we’ve experienced this year. The engineers who solve complex problems, the partners who collaborate to deliver excellence, and the customers who trust us to bring their vision to life.
As we reflect on the year we’ve had and prepare for what’s next, we’re reminded that gratitude isn’t something reserved for November—it’s a mindset that shapes how we grow, connect, and keep moving forward every day.
Growth Through Challenge
Every company faces moments that test its resolve, and for Pigler Automation, 2025 brought its share of those moments. But what truly stands out isn’t the difficulty of the challenges but how our team responded to them. This year, we learned to lean in instead of stepping back, confronting challenges directly to keep moving forward with purpose.
We grew not just in what we deliver, but in how we work. Across projects and departments, we saw individuals stretch beyond their comfort zones, develop new skills, and gain confidence. Our emerging leaders, through collaboration and shared accountability, played a key role in driving that momentum forward.
Growth rarely occurs in smooth conditions; it happens in the unexpected and uncertain. Looking back, we realize that every challenge this year helped sharpen our focus, strengthen our foundation, and get us ready for what lies ahead.
The Power of Focus and Clarity
One of the key lessons we carried into 2025 was the importance of focus. Over the past year, our team worked to turn “good intentions” into defined processes—aligning people, goals, and systems around a common purpose. What once depended on momentum and hope now relies on structure and strategy.
That shift has enabled us to be more deliberate in how we pursue new opportunities. Across the company, we’ve moved from reacting to planning proactively – focusing on keeping the main thing, the main thing.
Clarity builds confidence. With that confidence, a renewed sense of purpose emerges across the organization. We’ve learned that progress isn’t about doing more; it’s about focusing on what matters most… together.
Partnerships and Progress
We didn’t grow alone; our partners motivated and challenged us every step of the way. Collaborating with organizations like Siemens, Beckhoff, and Rexel has helped expand our capabilities, broaden our reach, and create new opportunities across the automation industry.
Each partnership means more than a contract – it’s a shared commitment to progress. Together, we’ve handled complex projects, embraced new technologies, and supported each other through shifting market conditions. Whether launching new initiatives or addressing urgent customer needs, these collaborations remind us that success is always a collective effort.
Strong partnerships don’t just help us grow; they help us grow smarter. They encourage us to innovate, adapt, and stay true to the values that define Pigler Automation: trust, reliability, and teamwork.
People and Culture at the Core
Behind every project, proposal, and partnership are the people who make it happen. This year, more than ever, we were reminded that our greatest strength is our team—not just their technical skills, but their dedication, teamwork, and care for each other.
At Pigler Automation, we take pride in being skilled at what we do, but equally important, we aim to be good to work with. Our culture is founded on trust, respect, and the belief that great work happens when people feel valued. From daily collaboration to our weekly kudos tradition, recognition isn’t merely a formality – it’s simply part of how we work.
Our company culture and employee recognition efforts keep shaping how we grow and connect. When people feel appreciated, they don’t just perform; they thrive, innovate, and inspire those around them.
Looking Ahead – Seeds for 2026
If 2025 was a year of laying groundwork, 2026 is when we’ll see the results take hold. The progress we’ve made in strengthening our systems, refining our focus, and deepening our relationships has created a foundation for sustainable growth in the year ahead.
We often refer to this stage as “tilling the ground’ – preparing, learning, and improving so that what comes next can truly flourish. We’ve built a strong foundation – now we’re ready to put it to work. In 2026, we’ll keep improving our systems, modernizing where it matters, and finding better ways to support our customers.
The future will always bring new challenges, but it also offers new possibilities. And by focusing on what we can control — our quality, our service, our people — we’re positioned to keep growing stronger together.
Closing – Gratitude in Motion
As we reflect on this year, one truth remains clear: progress is driven by people. Every milestone, partnership, and breakthrough we’ve reached is thanks to our team’s, our partners’, and our customers’ collective dedication.
Gratitude isn’t just reflection – it’s what propels us forward. It fosters teamwork, strengthens relationships, and reminds us of the purpose behind our efforts. At Pigler Automation, we’re proud to work alongside people who are deeply dedicated to developing solutions that truly make a difference.
To our customers, thank you for your trust. To our partners, thank you for your collaboration. And to our team – thank you for bringing your best to every project, every day. Together, we show that gratitude isn’t just a once-a-year celebration. It’s the force that keeps progress moving forward.
