REX’S REVIEW
DH Pace invoiced sales increased in
the first half of 2014 by 16%, or just
over $19 million to over $138 million.
This growth is all the more impressive
when you consider how competitive
our markets are where we have to
fight aggressive competitors for every
sale and customer expectations are
continually rising.
Over the last several years, our
ability to control expenses, re-invest
those savings back into the business
to enhance our competitive position
and finding ways to improve customer satisfaction has fueled the growth
we enjoy today. These factors will
continue to be essential ingredients
for our success going forward.
Congratulations on a great start to
2014 and let’s keep working together
to build a successful future.
Highlights of the quarter include:
Bi-State joins DH Pace. In the
2nd quarter, Bi-State Loading Dock
Specialists, Inc. located in St. Louis,
Mo., joined the DH Pace Family of
Companies. Bi-State has served the
Eastern Missouri, Central and
Southern Illinois marketplaces with
distinction since 1979.
Bi-State is an industry leading
dock equipment sales and service
organization and is an authorized
distributor of the complete line of
Kelley brand loading dock solutions.
Left to right: Scott Tindall, Kent Bazzell, John Willen, Dawn Eichhoff,
Steve Chiaurro, Don Remaly, and Mike Chiaurro.
I am very excited about the addition
of the Bi-State team and the opportunity to represent the Kelley brand
throughout our new territory.
Facility opening in Athens. In
early June, we opened a facility
location in Athens, Ga., to support
our local market operations.
Safety update. So far in 2014, we
have made a small improvement in
our safety record. Hand injuries
continue to be a leading cause of
incidents. We recently implemented
an enhanced work glove program to
improve our results in this area. We
still have a long way to go to achieve
our safety goals as an organization.
We need everyone’s help by thinking
and acting safely every hour of every
day and encouraging others to do
likewise.
Thank you for your ongoing
efforts in serving our customers and
representing our organization.
Did you know that if you are enrolled in the voluntary critical illness
insurance that you can receive $100 for your wellness exam?
If you are one of the 170+ employees that are enrolled in
the voluntary critical illness insurance through Unum, you
have a wellness reimbursement benefit that will pay you
$100. A list of Health Screenings that qualify for the $100
wellness benefit is listed on the form that you can find on
Ultipro under Myself – Benefits – Information and Forms –
Voluntary Wellness Claim Form.
A few of the screenings that qualify are the blood test
for glucose and cholesterol which are also required for
employees on the company health plan to receive the
wellness premium rate. You can benefit twice from having
the wellness exam – lower insurance premium and $100!
2
If you are not on the company health plan, but have the
voluntary critical illness insurance, just have one of the
screenings listed on the form and turn in for reimbursement to Unum as indicated on the form.
If you have questions regarding the $100 Wellness
reimbursement, you can contact Unum at 1-800-635-5597
Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern
Time. To find out if you are enrolled in the Voluntary
Critical Illness insurance, go to Ultipro – Myself – Benefits –

Congratulations DH Pace!
The DH Pace’s National Accounts Group for Target received the “Partner Award of Excellence” from Target. DH Pace received this award based on the hard work and dedication from each of our departments over the
past year for delivering best in class customer service from New Construction, Parts Supply, Core Team,
Customer Support, Inventory Management, and Facilities.
To receive the Partner Award of Excellence is a significant achievement in satisfying their steep expectations
each and every day. Given the vast number of suppliers that the Target store has, makes this award even more
significant. The relationships that we have built as a team with Target over the years, demonstrates what we, as
a group, can accomplish. Congratulations on this prestigious award! National Accounts Security Solutions

Arizona Division Reaches Ten Year Safety Milestone
In a time where workplace safety and employee retention is of the utmost importance, one DH Pace division
has consistently created a culture of working safe. That division is Arizona, comprised of approximately 70
employees, was recently recognized for achieving an all-time Company safety record. The Arizona Team
has, thus far, logged more than 1.4 million man hours, and 10 years with no lost time incidents. Arizona
reached this record spanning from May 2004 to May 2014.
This safety milestone is a direct result of Arizona’s employees’ ongoing commitment to safety awareness and
practices. The local Safety Committee, established to promote and recognize the critical impact of working
safely, meet on a monthly basis to identify safety issues and to implement practical solutions to ensure everyone goes home at the end of the day incident free to their families.
Congratulations to our Arizona Division for their efforts in achieving this impressive 10-year milestone! Once
again, thank you Arizona for a job well done and exemplifying a safety attitude to make each job a safe and
productive work site.

Process Improvement...
Coming to a Division Near You!
To improve the company’s efficiency and effectiveness in the execution of its business processes, DH Pace’s
Process Improvement department is heavily engaged with employees throughout the divisions.
Below are just a few of the projects that the Process Improvement team has accomplished this quarter:
1. Creation of a Balance Due Document. This solution met a growing demand from our Commercial Overhead Door customers. Instead of billers having to manually manipulate Baan invoices, the Balance Due
document automatically calculates and displays all current dollar information (invoices, credits, and debits)
related to the job in a clear and concise manner. Thanks to Ben Kramer, Kevin Dunn, Miles Rush, and
Sheldon Huyck!
2. Development of the Facilities Management SharePoint Site. To make the process of submitting and
managing facility requests at the new Olathe building easier for both employees and the Facilities
Management committee, Julie Batista developed a solution in PaceNet. While its initial usage was for the
new Olathe building, the site was designed to accommodate employees at any of our locations.
3. Implementation of Blue-Beam Revu Software. After thorough research and testing within the EDS-Local
and Special Markets divisions, Rod Landreth identified software to replace the legacy PDF editor program
that was causing increased frustration among users due to its constant problems. Its integration with
PaceNet will allow for greater leverage of its functionality as we look for additional solutions regarding
electronic document storage.
A few of our many projects in development include the following:
•
•
•
•
Baan special pricing
Inventory transfer between our two ERP software systems
Ordering company apparel via PaceNet
Dynamic reporting on Entry Door Systems’ RGA Processing
With a combined 45 years of experience at DH Pace, the Process Improvement team is ready to assist your
group in the areas of process improvement, whether that’s mapping and/or leaning a process, helping to
develop standard operating procedures, or coordinating with the Information Services group to deliver a
software solution, the Process Improvement team seeks to provide solutions that address your business
requirements.
Be on the lookout for future solutions delivered to your division. If you have any questions, please contact
Brad Newcomer or Kevin Dunn.
Larry Miller Retires
Larry Miller was an excellent mentor for the finance team and led Pace
through the recovery from the recession that began in late 2008.
During his tenure, Larry worked with the Finance team and operational
management to improve the budgeting processes, negotiated credit
lines and bank arrangements, and coordinated EENE recapitalization
as a SCORP. He also worked tirelessly on the search for a new location,
the move to Olathe. His retirement plans include spending time with
family, pursuing volunteering opportunities, completing honey-dos,
and probably a little golf. Congratulations, Larry!

Walter Bond did a great job. He was efficient, knowledgeable, personable, and performed the work in a very timely
and professional manner. Over the last 15 years, I have never
been dissatisfied with Ankmar Doors.
Both Adam Tilley and Brandon Dills were very professional
and helped me decide on a new door opener. They came
the next day, were quick but efficient and got the job done. I
would definitely recommend your company to others.

Chris Meredith was very knowledgeable and courteous. He

Kansas City
Technician: Phil Reichart
Honestly, it was truly one of the best service repairmen I
have ever had. The guy was super nice, knew what he was
doing, explained what he could do while he was there, and
did it in a short amount of time. I was very impressed and
will use Overhead again for any issue that I would have in
the future. Oklahoma City

them five stars!

First of all, the dispatcher was extremely pleasant to talk to. I
didn't expect that from this type of service. I was impressed
with how quickly the service man fixed my crooked garage
door and then he proceeded to go above and beyond by
making sure my opener was more secure and he took the
time to show me how to fix my opener if it should ever not
stay closed. I don't know if I am making sense but I was just
so impressed and grateful of the work he did. How pleasant
he was. And now I can use my garage like it was never even

Athens
Technician: John Ruble
What I hoped would be a routine maintenance call turned
out to be something more. The first repair person confirmed
my fear that my old workhorse of a unit had finally worn out
and it was time to get a new one. He quoted what I considered a very fair price and set up an appointment for the
following day. Both he and the team that installed the new
system explained everything that was going on. I felt the
entire time that they were going out of their way to make
the entire process as painless as possible for me, even to
the point of syncing the opener with my car. Small gestures
like that mean a lot, and I was most grateful. I wouldn't
hesitate to recommend DH Pace if you need their services.
Good folks.

TeamImpact’s Recent Events
Atlanta’s Pancake Breakfast and Truck Wash
The Atlanta Division held their annual Pancake
Breakfast and Truck Wash. Technicians, installers,
and office personnel enjoyed a home-cooked
breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, grits,
sausage, bacon, biscuits, and gravy, while managers
were out in the parking lot washing trucks. This event was held in memory of Edgar Rieffel
who passed away in May 2010. The Atlanta Division
was happy to welcome Edgar’s 3-year old son,
Jackson, and wife, Carla (who is also Randy Batt’s
daughter), to the breakfast. They even had Jackson
helping wash the trucks and spray down a few
managers. King Door of Dalton Salesman, Chuck
Newcity, lead a team of his Atlanta-based peers
and TeamImpact members cooking in the kitchen. No one went away hungry as Atlanta employees go
the extra mile to find a way to have fun! Operation Foot Care Patrol
Atlanta’s TeamImpact held a drive for deployed
military called Operation Foot Care Patrol as a way
to contribute to the community and show support to
the troops that make daily sacrifices for our nation.
Employees brought in various foot care items,
including 232 pairs of socks, as well as contributing a
monetary donation of $330, used to purchase
additional items. Atlanta commercial installer and
active duty for the Georgia Army National Guard,
Wayne Hubbard, provided the contact for the
deployed unit receiving the goods. TeamImpact and
the Atlanta division thank the brave men and women
in service, as well as their families. Employees are glad
to be able to give back in a small way to our military.
From this succuessful and impactful event, a thank
you postcard was recieved in the mail from SFC
Christopher Pearce. It read, “Thank you so much for
all the socks and foot care products, they have been
very helpful maintaining our main mode of transportation! My men and I really appreciate your suport and
patriotism! All you and your organization have given is
more than enough. Thanks again and take care.”

Any questions can be directed to Kyle Pearson ext 1517 or Brenda Schindler ext 1442 in Human
Resources. If you wish to self-identify, please return the attached forms no later than 30 days. We appreciate
your help with this requirement.

An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty
in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for
which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of
Defense.
An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in
the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation
for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA—the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in
the uniformed service, you may be entitled to be reemployed by your employer in the position you would
have obtained with reasonable certainty if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the
U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-USADOL.
As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we are required to submit a report to the United States
Department of Labor each year identifying the number of our employees belonging to each specified
“protected veteran” category. If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed
above, please indicate by checking the appropriate box below.
I BELONG TO THE FOLLOWING CLASSIFICATIONS OF PROTECTED VETERANS
(CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY):
[ ] DISABLED VETERAN
[ ] RECENTLY SEPARATED VETERAN
[ ] ACTIVE WARTIME OR CAMPAIGN BADGE VETERAN
[ ] ARMED FORCES SERVICE MEDAL VETERAN
[ ] I am a protected veteran, but I choose not to self-identify the classifications to which I belong.
[ ] I am NOT a protected veteran.
If you are a disabled veteran it would assist us if you tell us whether there are accommodations we could
make that would enable you to perform the essential functions of the job, including special equipment,
changes in the physical layout of the job, changes in the way the job is customarily performed, provision of
personal assistance services or other accommodations. This information will assist us in making reasonable
accommodations for your disability.
Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse
treatment. The information provided will be used only in ways that are not inconsistent with the Vietnam Era
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.
The information you submit will be kept confidential, except that (i) supervisors and managers may be
informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled veterans, and regarding necessary
accommodations; (ii) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if
you have a condition that might require emergency treatment; and (iii) Government officials engaged in
enforcing laws administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, or enforcing the
Americans with Disabilities Act, may be informed.
