Last week, Giering Metal Finishing’s staff was educated on OSHA, EPA/DEEP, and other job-related training. This was followed by our annual Employee Appreciation Day, celebrating this year’s accomplishments of our team with great food, team-building activities, belly-laughing games, and prizes to be won. Every year, we all look forward to the Dunk Tank where employees line up to drop the managers into the cold bathwater. Given the hot temperatures that day, the water was refreshing…even though we caught the prep team adding bags of ice when filling up the bath!

As our corporation passes a significant mile marker of age this April, we created a representative symbol for the importance of our 70-year-old, three generation, family business.

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the death of George F. Giering, Class of 1965, brother of Elizabeth (Giering) Ross, VC Class of 1974.

George F. Giering, III, a longtime resident of Woodbridge, CT, passed away peacefully at Meadow Mills Memory Care on Thursday, February 29th, 2024, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Through brute strength, he courageously fought through this past year to celebrate his 81st birthday, Thanksgiving & Christmas, visit work and take joy rides. He was able to enjoy taking walks, calling friends & family and talking of the good old days to the end.

Even though 2023 ended in an unfortunate slowdown, inline with the United States Manufacturing Index (PMI), Giering Metal Finishing accomplished some major achievements throughout the year. Regardless of soaring interest rates combatting record inflation and a slowing economy, we continued our determination to lead the way as innovative and ingenious finishers.
