When he retires on 2 August, Dave Nightlinger will have spent the last 38 years and 262 days employed by Weir’s ESCO division. But it only took him a second to identify his proudest accomplishment: customer relationships, many of which go back decades. Throughout his career with ESCO, Dave has been an integral member of the North American sales team, serving aggregate and infrastructure customers up and down the Eastern Seaboard, most of it as district sales manager for dealers and end users in Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. “One of the most meaningful pieces of advice I received in my career was ‘Take care of your dealers and they’ll take care of you,’” said Dave. “And go the extra mile to take care of the customer.” Dave started his career with ESCO working in inside sales at the company’s legacy site in Danville, Illinois, his hometown. With a background in insurance and auto sales and a desire to learn, Dave moved up quickly. In just 14 months, he was promoted to district sales manager and went on the road. Over the years, Dave has made thousands of customer visits, developing and fostering strong relationships to grow the business. During the last decade or so, he has been instrumental in supporting crushing sales in North America, always bringing his broad knowledge and above-and-beyond attitude to his work. As he approaches his last day with ESCO, Dave says he’s looking forward to slowing down a bit and spending more time with his wife, Corinne, and their two daughters and their families, including four grandchildren. He was a road warrior throughout his career, but now he and Corinne are planning to travel for pleasure. “We have several places we want to go,” added Dave. “In fact, we’ve identified over 30 places in North America alone.” Happy trails, Dave! Please join us in congratulating Dave on this impressive milestone, and for his service to the ESCO division and our customers. Thank you and congratulations, Dave! #Weir #ESCO #Retirement Dave Nightlinger

Operating in Colorado, Black Eagle Energy has large pipeline projects requiring the use of excavators to dig narrow, flat-bottomed trenches. They were welding on steel plates across construction points to achieve a straight digging edge but would then have to torch off the plates to use the points for other applications. The local ESCO® products representative provided Ultralok® U45 continuous edge tooth system for three of Black Eagle Energy’s excavators. The customer was pleased with the results shown below. Results: • Quick replacement of continuous edge points with other Ultralok points • Improves digging performance for trenching applications • No welding required improves worker safety • Eliminates the need to install and remove weld-on plates • Improves productivity by reducing costly downtime Learn more about the Ultralok tooth system: https://lnkd.in/geaJtAfT #weiresco #construction #constructionGET #GET #trenching #undergroundpipelines

Weir’s Brazil crew in Betim knows a thing or two about pounding the pavement. Introducing “run club.” It’s the latest health and wellbeing initiative, one of many, that encourages employees to get running and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from cheering others on. To supplement their training regimens, a series of interactive workshops have also encouraged best practice-sharing for healthy eating and mobility. Brazil’s running culture is an example of Weir’s ongoing support and commitment to workplace mental health and wellbeing. Check out Weir’s latest endorsement here: https://bit.ly/4bIAZ46.
