PeakLogix Celebrates Plant Expansion with AVID Medical

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

PeakLogix client, AVID Medical recently completed an $8 million expansion that doubled the size of its plant. The open house was last week, and PeakLogix CEO, Bob Giberson, and Karen Lynch were excited to attend.

Despite the sluggish economy, AVID plans to add another 100 employees as the national demand for its surgical kits continues to explode. By ordering custom procedure trays from AVID, hospitals and surgery centers reduce the turnaround time for procedures in operating rooms and increases efficiency by 25 to 30 percent.

From its plant in Toano, VA, AVID provides trays to some 1,000 hospitals and surgery centers for a host of medical procedures. Orthopedic and cardiovascular procedures are their top growth markets.

This is AVID’s second expansion. In 2002, it broke ground on a $3.5 million, 45,000 square foot addition to its 40,000 square foot plant. This latest expansion adds 90,000 square feet, doubling the size of the plant.

We are honored to play a role in a Virginia success story like this one. AVID started as a two person company in a small office and has grown to be an inspiring presence in the Virginia business community.

PeakLogix CEO Hits the Junior Achievement Speaking Circuit

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

PeakLogix CEO, Bob Giberson, made his mark on the community last week in an important way. He was one of the Richmond area CEOs to take part in Junior Achievement. Bob spoke at Meadowbrook High School in Chesterfield County to Mr. Tim Gilbert’s Government class to a group of 26 students.

Junior Achievement brings local business leaders into classrooms to talk with students about the importance of ethics in business and life.

Bob was one of 150 executives visiting 150 classrooms in 25 local high schools.

“It was a huge success,” said Anne Marie McHugh, President of Junior Achievement of Central Virginia. The mission of the organization is to teach children how to succeed in a global economy.

Developing the next generation of our workforce is a cause that we view as imperative for business leaders to support, and we hope you will consider doing the same in your community.
