As we reflect on another successful year at Cresswood, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible team that drives our American-made industrial shredders and grinders business. Their unwavering dedication to service—both to one another and to our valued customers—forms the backbone of our success. This spirit of unity and care is what fuels initiatives like Cresswood Cares, which underscores our commitment to giving back to our team, our community, and the people we serve.
Giving Thanks at the 6th Annual Turkey Fry Luncheon
Since 2019, Cresswood’s President, Ryan Butzman has been frying up turkeys for the company’s Thanksgiving Luncheon. This year’s Turkey Fry Luncheon was especially meaningful as we gathered together to celebrate the season of gratitude. The event was a reminder of the importance of building strong, supportive relationships within our team. Our annual Turkey Fry brings everyone together, fostering a sense of warmth and camaraderie that makes this tradition so special. It’s a time to reflect on the growth of our company and the bonds that make Cresswood a truly unique place to work.
To make the meal even more memorable, we partnered with a local favorite, Tom and Jerry’s in Sycamore, IL, to provide delicious side dishes. From creamy mashed potatoes to savory stuffing, the spread was a perfect complement to the deep-fried turkey, and it was wonderful to support a local business while enjoying their hearty, homemade fare. If you’re ever in the area, we highly recommend checking out their catering menu for your next event!
As we head into the holiday season, we’re reminded that our greatest asset is the people who make Cresswood a company we’re proud to be a part of. From our team to our customers and the community we serve, we are grateful for all who contribute to our success and growth. Here’s to another year of collaboration, innovation, and giving back. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Cresswood!
