Pierce Knows it PaYS to Give Our Soldiers Priority
In a ceremony to take place on Friday November 14th at 1:00 p.m., Pierce Distribution Services Company (Pierce) will officially join the Army PaYS program. This partnership with the Army provides Pierce with a first priority status to interview and hire Army personnel upon their return from duty, or to pre-establish the employment relationship in advance of their departure from service.
The focal point of the ceremony will be the formal signing of the PaYS Memorandum of Agreement by Brigadier General Joseph Anderson, Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Recruiting Command and Kevin Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pierce. Other dignitaries present will be executives of the Navistar International Corporation (Navistar) and local political figures.
Both Navistar and Pierce have an active role in supporting the Army and other military branches by manufacturing, packaging and shipping components in support of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program. The ceremony will take place at the new 255,000 square foot Navistar/Pierce military packaging center located at:
857 Landmark Drive
Belvidere, IL 61008
