Saturday, September 26th is National Human Resources Day. If your HR department is anything like ours, they've been working tirelessly—especially these past few months.

During these unprecedented times, it's important for us to keep the safety and well-being of our employees and customers top of mind. Over the past few months, we have implemented new safety measures and are now offering contact-free curbside pick-up at each of our Brennan facilities in the US.

In January of 2019, Brennan broke ground on the new Global Headquarters facility in Solon, OH. Since then, much progress has been made and completion is nearing quickly. While many external and cosmetic changes have been made, there has also been internal change with a shift toward creating a more sustainable workspace.

Brennan is open for business while also committed to “flattening the curve” on the worldwide COVID19 virus pandemic and protecting our employees and partners. We are taking measures to follow or exceed guidelines laid out by our state and federal governments, the CDC and the WHO. 

Brennan is now offering customers within a 50 mile radius of Los Angeles, CA FedEx SameDay ® City service at rates competitive with regular ground service. This service is a fast, reliable way to send packages. 

 Last Friday, Brennan Industries invited employees and partners to come celebrate the steel topping of the new corporate headquarters building. The steel topping part of the construction process signifies that the building has reached maximum height.
