Lost but Never Forgotten
ITW Dynatec
Sept. 11, 2008
 ITW Dynatec is proud to be a part of the newly dedicated steel-bench Pentagon Memorial in northern Virginia at the crash site of American Airlines Flight 77. Each bench is dedicated by name to one of the lives lost when a hijacked commercial airliner crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The 184 steel benches were manufactured by MetalTek International and are rustproof, cantilevered arcs of stainless steel measuring 14 feet long, each weighing 1,100 pounds and secured to the ground at one end. Each is engraved with a victim's name and sits above a small reflecting pool. The benches are arranged as a timeline in regards to the victims ages: 3 to 71.
ITW Dynatec hot melt systems - supplied by Packaging Plus in Fenton, MO - were used to construct the molds into which the molten metal was then poured.
In regards to the new monument, ITW Dynatec General Manager Jud Broome stated, "Here at ITW Dynatec, we are proud to have been a part of this piece of history. Many lives were lost on September 11, but none will ever be forgotten."

We have achieved the VPP STAR certification because management made a choice and a commitment to SAFETY. All ITW Dynatec employees are involved in STAR. STAR has become part of our culture of excellence for both product and employee safety. |
