Cheers to our Tilburg, Netherlands site which has now worked more than 1,000 days without a recordable safety incident. While it's always wonderful to celebrate large milestones in our Commitment to Zero, the reality is that every significant milestone is the result of consistent, daily decisions – each employee being diligent during every shift, every hour and every task. Our Tilburg team has inspired us all with their consistency, proving that zero truly is possible. Congratulations! #BetterEveryDay #WeCare

¡Tiempo para celebrar! This week, we officially opened our new compounding facility in San José Iturbide, Mexico with ribbon cutting and a day of celebration. Ascend leaders presented the company vision and values to our new colleagues, then employees had a chance to join small groups with leaders to visit and ask questions. A fun soccer game and a festive meal ended this great day – we now look forward to providing excellent local service to our customers in Latin America! #OneAscend #WeCare
