Fishing for Kids
The Hawk Watch
Program is a
preventative action
program.
The Hawk Watch Program focuses
on staying alert to everyday
occurrences in order to determine
potential in-cidents before they
occur and ensure that they don’t
happen. If you spot a potential
hazard or something that has the
potential to cause a
non-conformity, please fill out a
Preventive Action Request (PAR).
Management will review the
request and determine what
action, if any, should be taken.

On September 18, 2009, AGC Automotive celebrated 20 years of
business operations at their Elizabethtown Kentucky plant. The
“Asahi Glass Corporation” is one of the largest providers of custom
designed glass (automotive windshields), as well as flat glass
(commercial buildings), in the world! The AGC E-town plant
specializes in providing windshields to automotive manufacturers
throughout the eastern and central United States.
In addition to simply being proud at being invited to attend as a
current provider of security, we were especially privileged to “share”
in this celebration as a true partner. Industrial Security Service
has been providing service for this particular plant for more
than the 20 years! We actually provided service during the
construction phase in 1988, as well.
In honor of our relationship, Industrial Security Service presented
Mr. Tom Crittenden, Plant Manager, with a framed painting that
celebrated one of the many traditions associated with the
Commonwealth of Kentucky: horse breeding. This painting is
currently on display in their plant lobby area.
Attending the ceremony from AGC Automotive included Mr. Brad
Kitterman, President & CEO, Mr. Yoshihiro Hoshita, Automotive
Manufacturing Unit Leader, Mr. Tom Throop, V.P. Automotive
Business Unit, Mr. Mike Antanochi, V.P. Operations, and Mr. Tom
Crittenden, Plant Manager.
Attending on behalf of Industrial Security Service was V.P. of Quality
& Compliance Andrea Pierce, Region Manager, Operations &
Business Development Tim Cember, Operations Manager Greg Noe,
and John Richardson who has been the Site Supervisor at AGC
Automotive for over eighteen (18) years!!!
