February 2007 - Jimmy Tillman's 30th anniversary! Jimmy's been here at Petersen for 30 years. He started out in the back or the fabrication shop running a saw, and worked his way up to become the purchasing manager many many years ago.
2005 - Bruce McGill retires after working here for who knows how long...John Petersen, founder of Petersen Industries, recruited Bruce from the lube shop where he was working. Bruce declined the offer at the time but eventually came around after a couple more years. His first job at Petersen was in the parts department. Other tasks included stirring the big pot of coffee so that the grinds didn't burn to the bottom. Bruce was a dedicated employee for 30 years and finally retired from his long held position as sales manager in 2005.
