At Powder Cote II, Tennessee Thanksgiving isn’t just about the holiday–it’s about being thankful, tradition and the people who make us successful. Every year we show our appreciation to our team members with a simple but meaningful gesture: we give every employee a turkey for the season. This tradition is more than just a holiday gift; it’s the values we live by as a family oriented company in Tennessee.
A Tradition That Binds Us
One of the most American of Thanksgiving traditions is the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. As thousands gather in New York City to see the giant balloons and floats, we are reminded of the importance of unity and celebration—values we live by at Powder Cote II.
And our turkey giveaway has become a tradition that binds us together as a team. It’s more than food—it’s about connection, recognition and gratitude for the hard work and dedication our team members bring every day.
Being a Family: Employee Appreciation
At the core of Powder Cote II is family. Whether we’re sharing a meal or working together to meet a deadline, the relationships we build go beyond the office. This culture of caring is what makes us a company into a family.
Our Thanksgiving tradition is just one of the many ways we try to make every team member feel special. For our remote employees we make sure they are included by providing meal vouchers and hosting virtual team building events. Because no matter where they are, they’re part of the Powder Cote II family.
