In honor of Black History Month, we want to highlight Frederick McKinley Jones – an inventor, entrepreneur and winner of the US National Medal of Technology. McKinley Jones was responsible for creating the first-ever truck refrigeration unit in 1938. The cooling units he designed were vital during World War II, as they allowed for food, medicine, and blood to be transported to army hospitals as well as open battlefields without perishing. His technology laid the foundation for all of the refrigerated trucks that travel thousands of miles across roads today. #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing#supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions#foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain#petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF#foodandbeverage#foodandbeveragemanufacturing#packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation#strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting#fulfillment #blackhistory #frederickmckinleyjones

Happy Birthday, Belkins 🎉 For the past 5 years, before finally joining the team, I’ve been following on team’s growth and success stories with top-customer leaders around the world.   Over the past two months since becoming a part of the Business Development department at Belkins, I have no doubt that 7 years is just a starting point on the way to something immensely massive. After two months of onboarding, being immersed into the company’s culture and first interactions with customers proved to me right that I’m a part of a leading business in appointment setting services. Here are my insights on what makes the team to be such a coherent mechanism: 1. Shared Goals: Our team is united by a common mission - To provide businesses with impactful growth solutions. 2. Communication: Transparent and continuous communication within each department and the absence of micro-management really make a difference in the working environment. 3. Feedback Culture: At Belkins, feedback is a tool for growth. I’m proud to work alongside such bright-minded and intelligent professionals as Margaret Lee (Kashuba), Martha Kruk, and Kseniia Drachuk, who put me in an open, supportive, and ecological environment from day 1. I’m grateful to Michael Maximoff and Vladyslav Podoliako for making things happen and excited to create a world where business growth is no longer a challenge :) Feel free to check our website and recently added Case Studies. Let's collaborate and excel 🙌 💫

When training new hires in records management, I always emphasize how subtlety important accurate preservation of history is. In this example, if we didn't have on record how diverse the 19th-century West was we'd only have Hollywood depictions to rely on. An unreliable narrator at best!

Our enemies knew about our brilliance. Nobody goes through all the troubles of passing laws to keep us out of schools, out of jobs, out of professional organizations, and out of many sports if they did not know about our brilliance. They even used or threatened violence to keep us out or throw us out. The sad thing is that we did not know about our own brain power because we were brainwashed to think that we had nothing to offer or that we needed to integrate to be worthwhile. Let’s refocus on ourselves and our children and our grand-children. Help support children in need until their parents are able to support them. Attend HBCUs for college and graduate school. Give money to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Stop thinking that we need to attend PWIs to be worthwhile. Stop wanting to be a big shot at PWIs to feel that we have made it. Stop wishing to be accepted by people who are not able to love us. Go to Black-owned restaurants! Find online Black-owned stores. Buy and read books by Black authors like Elizabeth Leiba. Help to open new medical schools at HBCUs. Help to open hospitals affiliated with HBCU medical schools. Make 2024 count.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we're taking some time to highlight Black leaders who shaped the supply chain industry. Learn more about Frederick McKinley Jones, inventor of the first automatic refrigeration system for trucks ⤵

On Presidents' Day, we honor the leaders who have shaped the course of our nation's history. Among them stands Abraham Lincoln, whose wisdom and leadership continue to inspire generations. As we reflect on Lincoln's legacy, let us remember his timeless words: "Whatever you are, be a good one." These simple yet profound words remind us of the importance of integrity, dedication, and striving for excellence in all that we do. Today, let's celebrate not only the accomplishments of past presidents but also the ideals and values that unite us as a nation. May we always aspire to uphold the principles of freedom, equality, and justice for all. #PresidentsDay #UnitedWeStand #OperatorSolutions #OSRescue
