Connie Bradt celebrates 20 years at A.M.A. Plastics
1997 or 1998 (SouthEast Conference, Greenville, SC)
"She started part time, before the 3rd addition to the warehouse was built. The warehouse was a long strip about 60' X 200'. There was one International stake truck and a little 6 pallet GMC. Allen and an office assistant were the only year round FT persons. Connie and our bookkeeper were PT and the warehouse worker and driver were seasonal. Sales were focused almost entirely on simple containers and a little bit of seeding equipment. In those days, A.M.A. also pre-filled flats and inserts (which we started to do again about 10 years ago). The hydroponic business was just starting with a few blocks from Cultilene. There were no computers (except a simple machine for bookkeeping). The office was small. The showroom was about 2/3 the size. There was one loading dock. There was no storage out back – the driveway wasn’t paved yet.
2004 (OFA Short Course with her Mom, Shirley Monsma)
"Connie did it all that first year - order taking, purchasing, order pulling, loading trucks, driving forklift and trade shows.
2009 (25 year wedding anniversary at OFA Short Course)
"A.M.A. has come a long way since then, with a lot of thanks to Connie, my partner, through thick and thin, in business and in life."
