April 1st is a grand day in the Hayes community, as our special company turns 40! My heart is overflowing, as I think of all of you who have made the last 40 years possible.

To our Hayes employees — our true family members — a tremendous thank you! Your dedication, tenacity, and commitment have carried Hayes through ever-changing markets and challenges over the last 4 decades. I am deeply thankful for each of you. You stand beside me, as we take exceptional care of our customers and partners.

To our precious customers — thank you for placing your trust in Hayes. In a world where relationships are not always valued, we are grateful for the enduring relationships we have built together.

To our partners and manufacturers — we extend a huge thank you! Your support and trust are an essential part of our success.

Finally, I want to acknowledge the spouses, significant others, and children of our Hayes family. Thank you for sharing your loved ones with us. Your understanding and support make it possible for us to continue to deliver our very best!

As we celebrate 40 years, we do so with appreciation for the past, pride in the present, and excitement for the future!
