ISSUE 2 N E W S L E T T E R APR - JUN 2008<br />
A<br />
Hello <strong>Lockwood</strong>!<br />
Spring is here and 2008 is zooming by.<br />
In this issue you will see stories on<br />
departmental changes and news (and<br />
there is plenty to talk about), and our<br />
people (200 strong and counting).<br />
You’ll see a note from our President,<br />
Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong> and his thoughts. Plus<br />
an update on Valve School with Tom<br />
<strong>Lockwood</strong>, Vice President. You’ll<br />
(hopefully) notice the contest is still<br />
running for naming this publication-that<br />
means we haven’t found one yet, so<br />
keep the ideas coming in! We thought<br />
it would be nice to share information on<br />
where and how our company is helping<br />
others. We will begin to spotlight<br />
branches in the order they were<br />
opened and first up is <strong>Edmonton</strong>. Of<br />
course, a welcome to our new hires, a<br />
shout-out to birthdays and births, as<br />
well as the beginning of our Tenure<br />
Section. If you don’t see a story on<br />
your department yet or branch, you<br />
will. We’ll continue to do stories about<br />
our people but need involvement with<br />
our branches - please send us<br />
information. This is a quarterly publication<br />
and we want your news! Send pictures, call<br />
and check in, forward emails... Sometimes<br />
no news is good news but this involves<br />
<strong>Lockwood</strong> worldwide! Steve Shubnell<br />
joins me this month on putting this<br />
publication out. We hope you will enjoy it<br />
and give us feedback and ideas. This is<br />
about and for ALL of <strong>Lockwood</strong>- we want to<br />
involve everyone and have everyone<br />
involved.<br />
EDMONTON<br />
BRANCH SPOTLIGHT-<br />
<strong>Edmonton</strong> - Capital of the Canadian province of <strong>Alberta</strong>. <strong>Lockwood</strong> first opened shop in 1999 with the help<br />
of Giovanni Capasso (now operating our Milan, Italy office). In Jan. 2002 we relocated to the Sherwood<br />
Park office. We handled such projects as NovaE3, Shell Athabasca, Syncrude UE1, and Opti/Nexen. Cam<br />
Wowk manages <strong>Edmonton</strong> where twenty five people currently work (and continue to grow).<br />
A proud moment recently when The RC MP (The Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Dog Unit asked about<br />
using our facility for training purposes. They will begin using the facility in 3/2008. A sign will be posted<br />
onsite saying <strong>Lockwood</strong> is an official training facility. They will use our warehouse, tent and fenced area for<br />
their dog training a couple of times a month. (Send us pictures <strong>Edmonton</strong>!).<br />
The facility has 75,000 sq. ft. of office and warehouse space to house our HUGE IN-STOCK INVENTORY,<br />
plus an additional 24,000 sq. ft. provided by the “tent”.<br />
Employees: Cam Wowk, Mike Pawlenchuk,<br />
Robbie Marler, Kathleen Corcoran, Ryker Stoehr,<br />
Gary Deeth, Linda Honch, Kim Murton, Sandy<br />
Schuett, Jade Lavallee, Ryan Hehr, Lori Ann<br />
Klingbeil, Karen Marsh, Mike Dijker, Heather<br />
Chelmick, Trevor Hale, Don Sexauer, Shaun<br />
Brown, Darren Siminiuk, Jonathan Billings, Ross<br />
Lumayko, Nick Chown, & Howard Mallory.<br />
Thank you to Roberta “Robbie” Marler for<br />
gathering information and pictures!

Letter from the President<br />

Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong>....<br />
“Moderation? It’s mediocrity, fear and confusion in disguise.”<br />
~Dan Millman, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior<br />
“A warrior never gives up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does.”<br />
~The Peaceful Warrior<br />
“Once we know and accept what our limits are, we can go beyond them.”<br />
~Albert Einstein<br />
“To show your true ability is always, in a sense, to surpass the limits of your ability, to go<br />
a little beyond them: to dare, to seek, to invent; it is at such a moment that new talents<br />
are revealed, discovered and realized.”<br />
~Simone de Beauvoir<br />
There you have it - that is our simple quest. To evaluate and understand each of our individual<br />
strengths and weaknesses. To then provide the challenge and opportunity for each of us to seek personal<br />
growth and satisfaction in our own right. And then, finally, to combine the skill sets of our individuals<br />
into a single united front.<br />
This is the path to improve performance necessary to meet the expectation of our clients, our vendors,<br />
and ourselves.<br />
...Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />
Business Brief:<br />
We continue to experience exponential growth in all facets of our business. As a<br />
result, all branches are expanding and we are set to open several new branches<br />
globally.<br />
New Developments:<br />
We are pleased to announce the hiring of Pat Murphy to be the General Manager of<br />
our newly created Upstream Division. Pat brings 30+ years of experience and<br />
expertise in the oil & gas business to our company. We are all excited about this new<br />
business opportunity.<br />
New Branch Openings:<br />
Milan, Italy - Giovanni Capasso as General Manager to cover Southern Europe.<br />
South Africa News:<br />
<strong>Lockwood</strong> South Africa (pty) Ltd. was invited as one of “South Africa’s Top Emerging<br />
Companies”. Expansion in Johannesburg is continuing along with our office in Durban.<br />
Quality & Safety<br />
Steve Shubnell has successfully delivered Quality Training to all of Houston. Benny<br />
Howard, Quality Manager, is now providing branch training and is meeting the challenges<br />
that come with the new Quality Process. Benny states “the customer is our final<br />
inspector, so our quality must be the best”. Lisa Bollich, Quality Admin. Asst., has<br />
stepped up to the plate in her additional duties. Safety & Quality are here to stay and<br />
will remain the highest priority to <strong>Lockwood</strong> <strong>International</strong>.<br />

MRO...<br />
. <strong>Lockwood</strong> hosted the ExxonMobil QIT (Quality Improvement Team) meeting on 2/8/08. The<br />
monthly meeting is for our client, ExxonMobil and all their local vendors to discuss different operational aspects of their<br />
contract, such as delivery, receivables, etc. The companies in attendance were: BeAed, Exel, Lamons Gasket, McJunkin<br />
Redman, Motion Industries, Triplex, Inc., Wholesale Electric, and Wilson Supply. Jerry Reeves, or “Fuzzy” as he is known, of<br />
ExxonMobil attended for the last time, as he retired. Cylynne Calicutt, Assistant MRO Manager, and Judy Collier, Facilities<br />
Manager, organized the entire event and did a fabulous job according to Cindy Williams, MRO Manager. The event was a<br />
huge success and Mike <strong>Lockwood</strong> was even able to attend. Each company is allowed two attendees and the host company<br />
provides breakfast, lunch, facilities to meet (all that goes with that meeting), and giveaways. Cylynne’s group had the room<br />
ready with <strong>Lockwood</strong> coffee cups, the smartboard up and running, and praline giveaways (which were<br />
a hit!). The event went off without a hiccup considering we were originally scheduled to host the meeting<br />
until April. Our group was ready, and did a<br />
fantastic job.<br />

MRO SALES<br />
Ryan Randazzo is<br />
training with Shaun<br />
Carter in MRO Sales. Ryan<br />
transferred from Procurement<br />
and is learning the daily MRO<br />
Sales requirements. Shaun says<br />
the pace is faster and less technical<br />
so it differs from the Project<br />
Sales here at <strong>Lockwood</strong>. Lots of<br />
growth on the horizon for<br />
this department too and<br />
we’ll keep you<br />
posted.<br />

Human Resources & Payroll/Benefits<br />
Darlene Garza has taken over <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s Human Resources Department. Deya Martinez has transferred from Procurement<br />
and joined her team as Assistant and they will be responsible for all new hiring duties such as locating new quality individuals<br />
to join <strong>Lockwood</strong>'s team, but also security - employee ID badges and drug testing and eventually training. This expansion allows<br />
Margaret Graff, our Payroll & Benefits Coordinator to focus on her main duties which is payroll and looking out for us<br />
regarding our benefits. She is responsible for all of us getting paid (overnight express to branches if anyone else was wondering).<br />
Margaret can take care of you if you need to change your tax exemptions-just call and ask for a new W-4. The next benefits<br />
enrollment period will be November or December and it will be here before you know it.<br />
Left to right - Margaret Graff - Payroll & Benefits Deya Martinez<br />
and Darlene Garza<br />
the years 1979 - 1998 and see what names pop up. Next edition we’ll pick up at 1999. So, who<br />
has been here the longest? To answer that we look at payroll records beginning with 1979...<br />
Mike Owens (Warehouse Mgr.) and Rudy Zenon (Project Lead) appear to have been on payroll<br />
since 1979. Then comes Mr. George, (Tagging Technician) 1981; Joanne Thornton was first here<br />
in 1992 and rehired in 2002. June Yonkman, (Inside Sales Mgr.) began in 1994 (technical training<br />
provided by none other than Tom <strong>Lockwood</strong>), Joe Delaney, (Forged Analyst) 1997; then Mr. Lee,<br />
Crate Construction, 1997. Mr. Lee has worked with the <strong>Lockwood</strong>s since 1981 or 82 but wasn’t<br />
on payroll until 1997. Bill Licarione, MRO Sales, and Cynthia Pantoja, Executive Assistant, both<br />
hired on in 1997; and Wilma Hand (Shorts - Texas City), and Daniel Martinez, Warehouse, began<br />
in 1998. Bill Licarione states “with almost 11 years at <strong>Lockwood</strong> I’ve seen it grow from a small<br />
office and warehouse inside the loop with 13 total employees, to a world renown corporation.<br />
In the 28 years I’ve been in this industry this is the most solid company I’ve worked for.” The<br />
sentiment is unanimous-anyone who has worked at<br />
<strong>Lockwood</strong> for any length of time tells us “incredible”<br />
on <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s growth and evolution.<br />
fyi<br />
Just a reminder to check out the N drive for all kinds of helpful how-to’s<br />
on AS400 and other computer related training. Renee Roberts is still and<br />
will always be our resident AS/400 Queen.<br />
Also, we have a demonstration “movie” (very short tutorial that shows you<br />
how to perform a task) on the J drive (J:\Demonstrations). It demonstrates<br />
how to insert our brand new logos into your documents.<br />
Regarding the demo’s - audio is required and if you can’t hear anything,<br />
have your supervisor send a request to helpdesk@lockwoodint.com and<br />
we’ll get you hooked up (no pun intended) with speakers.<br />
Tenure<br />
Looking back on <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s history we delve into tenure. <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />
opened its doors in 1977 by<br />
Frank <strong>Lockwood</strong>. We look at<br />
Top: George Allen, Joann Thornton, Rudy Zenon,<br />
Bill Licarione, sitting-Mike Owens.<br />
Did you know?...<br />
Cynthia Pantoja<br />
... S.p.A. - have you seen it? What does it mean?<br />
You will see it behind OMB’s name, and others..... It is<br />
the Italian equivalent to “Incorporated” and stands<br />
for:<br />
Societa’ per Azione<br />

Another exciting change at <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />
is our new Marketing Department.<br />
Laura Fitzgerald heads up the team<br />
with Steve Shubnell. Our focus is commercial<br />
and technical marketing.<br />
Crazy busy (as we all are), but we’re<br />
developing some basic marketing materials<br />
such as product line sheets, reference<br />
list, and leave-behinds for our<br />
sales force. Koleta Parsley is working<br />
closely with the team coordinating<br />
print jobs and teaching us plenty. We<br />
will soon begin revamping our website<br />
(you will love the plans we have).<br />
The Valve Identification book is receiving<br />
its third remake and you will all<br />
enjoy the CAD drawings that Luca<br />
Radrizzani has helped <strong>Lockwood</strong> acquire<br />
( ).<br />
We’re getting to know the branches<br />
and appreciate the feedback and insight<br />
we’ve received. The more we<br />
know, the better we can help <strong>Lockwood</strong>.<br />
Koleta Parsley, Laura Fitzgerald, Steve Shubnell<br />
F A C I L I T I E S<br />
We visited with Judy Collier, <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s Facilities Manager to catch up on her<br />
happenings. Judy has been very busy since joining <strong>Lockwood</strong> in 2007 beginning<br />
with the big move into the new building. Now, she is concentrating on renovating<br />
Buildings A & C. Although A is finished, as Betty reported, Building C is<br />
still a couple of months away from having coffee service ordered! She will be<br />
lending her expertise traveling to other branches to implement projects and<br />
improvements.<br />
Locally, Judy has been responsible for the new security system which involved<br />
more than the obvious - picture ID badges for every employee, setting up entry<br />
credentials, passwords, etc. The great benefit of the new system is security<br />
for our people and property. Eventually, the<br />
system will allow for time tracking (YES - no<br />
more time sheets) but right now its our key to<br />
get in and our proof that we belong here (badges<br />
must be worn and visible at all times). The<br />
administration of the system will be handed over<br />
to HR once all the kinks are worked out.<br />
Furthermore, Judy has started <strong>Lockwood</strong>’s recycling<br />
program. All empty toner cartridges and<br />
aluminum cans are being collected and she is<br />
working with Furr’s High School who will use the<br />
proceeds to subsidize field trips, buy backpacks<br />
and school supplies, as well as instructional<br />
Judy Collier material not covered by the budget.<br />
John Yonkman is now in charge of Material Management and we spent a few minutes learning about his team and<br />
plans. His team consists of Aladdin Hussein, Vince Veloz, and Tony Galan.<br />
Highest priority is implementation of cycle counting which will, in theory, eliminate<br />
year-end inventory (do I hear a “YES!”). As with all change, it will take time<br />
but he has big plans and high hopes that this will bring our inventory into focus as<br />
accurate. The new system will also allow for discovery of current material handling<br />
problems to reduce risk of error. The plan is to implement in Houston and work<br />
through any problems before rolling it out to all of the branches. John is looking at<br />
all possibilities and although he may not have THE answer, he feels trying different<br />
variances will allow for THE solution to become apparent. He is calculating<br />
John Yonkman<br />
the redesign of the warehouse which, once in place, should further reduce the risk of errors.<br />
It will allow less product expertise to be expected by warehouse personnel and a<br />
more intuitive process on how to pull and track product.<br />

Our group spent a week in Palm Desert, California attending the<br />
TUG (The User Group) annual User-to-User Networking and education<br />
conference for Users of Infor Distribution Software. As<br />
you know, <strong>Lockwood</strong> uses APLUS, which is a family of Infor’s<br />
product offering. Our people came back excited and educated.<br />
Those who attended include Alan Walls (IT Manager), Renee Roberts<br />
(AS/400 Training Specialist), Donna Wells (Operations Manager),<br />
and Adam Adams (Report Specialist). Renee relays that she<br />
participated in labs, sat in on multiple training sessions and networked<br />
with many users who she will collaborate with to further<br />
help <strong>Lockwood</strong> optimize our performance. According to Alan,<br />
“this conference gave us an opportunity to participate in the improvement<br />
process of the software, learn new solutions to approach<br />
various APLUS issues; and most importantly, meet and<br />
discuss with other APLUS users about their company’s issues and<br />
solutions, as they’ve tried to improve their business. We all came<br />
back educated and inspired.”<br />

Need-to-know News<br />
Business According to June<br />
As predicted, 2008<br />
has started out with a<br />
bang!<br />
We are very excited<br />
to announce the signing<br />
of three MEGA multimillion<br />
dollar project<br />
agreements:<br />
•NCP Project in<br />

will nd exciting be a very busy a<br />
year with many challenges as we<br />
continue to grow our company.<br />
Best Regards,<br />
June Yonkman<br />
Donna Wells, Operations Manager,<br />
spent some time with us regarding the<br />
TUG Conference also (see story). She<br />
is excited about the ideas that were<br />
spurned by attending. The three big areas<br />
of most potential she saw for <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />
were: 1) upgrade of our APLUS<br />
AS/400, 2) Value Service Add-In, and 3)<br />
Max Recall. She feels we can tweak our<br />
processes and the tools we use (software)<br />
to be able to better capture our usage,<br />
which will improve overall proficiency.<br />
Procurement, Sales, and Project Coordinators<br />
would all be affected by changes,<br />
but she says “if a company isn’t changing,<br />
it isn’t growing<br />
and <strong>Lockwood</strong><br />
is definitely growing.”<br />
It’s going to<br />
take group thinking<br />
with representation<br />
from all<br />
departments but<br />
Donna Wells<br />
she feels the<br />
changes we make<br />
will benefit us all multifold in the long<br />
run.<br />
CFO<br />
We checked in with Betty Allen, Chief Financial Officer, and she gave us a<br />
synopsis of her group’s activities.<br />
The week of 3/10/08 marked the completion of the renovations of Building A<br />
according to Betty Allen. “The furniture is in and coffee service ordered”.<br />
(Nothing says “ready for business” like ordering coffee service).<br />
The new space accommodates a shipping office, a dedicated room for the tag<br />
machines, a much needed inspector’s office, and of course renovation of the<br />
restrooms and kitchen, as well as locker room expansion.<br />
The completion of Building A means Building B<br />
renovations are in progress. (We’ll keep you posted).<br />
As for the new facility of Building C, Ms. Betty says<br />
there are still finishing touches, such as artwork, etc. but<br />
the major issues have been resolved (such as ventilation<br />
for the server room).<br />
Ms. Allen is also trying to better our crew. She is<br />
responsible for providing a training program for key staff<br />
Betty Allen<br />
members entitled “Bullets for Managers” which was<br />
presented 3/20/08.<br />

Great things on the horizon this year; it’s<br />
starting off with a bang. First of all, the<br />
Procurement Department has evolved for<br />
two ladies to take the helm. Amanda<br />
Marksberry (Purchasing Manager) and<br />
Cassie Pedigo (Sourcing Manager) are extremely<br />
excited and hopeful of being a<br />
great “source” for our Sales Department, so<br />
that <strong>Lockwood</strong> can increase our presence in<br />
the industry and take us to that next level.<br />
They have a great team which includes<br />
Brian Nelson, who is our Ball Valve Sourcing<br />
Specialist and has just completed our<br />
new pricing list for TY. Thanks Brian....we<br />
really appreciate the updated information.<br />
While Ryan Randazzo has transferred to<br />
MRO, the group has gained a few new faces<br />
such as David Castillo, Janet Anderson and<br />
Sharon Montague. David is sourcing our<br />
bronze and iron, while Janet is working with<br />
Pam Moore, Brian Nelson<br />
Stephanie Nesbitt as our Cast Steel Purchasing Assistant. Sharon performs Receiving. Wow. This<br />
group is growing by leaps and bounds and there are still a couple more positions that need to be<br />
filled, currently “TBD” (to be determined) status. <strong>Lockwood</strong> is doing more than keeping up with the<br />
Jones’...we’re setting the standard!<br />
