Not only are WIKA USA employees dedicated and talented, but they know how to have fun! Halloween 2022 was a great success, returning to full force after pared down and socially distant activities for the past couple of years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three of WIKA USA\u2019s locations across the country held their annual costume contest, which meant some employees found themselves working beside Red Riding Hood, The Terminator, Beetlejuice, or members of the Addams family! The Customer Service group showed their team spirit by dressing up as Minions and\u00a0Gru.<\/p>\n\n

In addition to wearing costumes, the employees at WIKA Mobile Control<\/a> in Pennsylvania challenged each other to a\u00a0Chili Cook-Off. A tip of the chef\u2019s hat \u2013 and the hotly contested cauldron trophy \u2013 goes to Eric Mowen<\/strong>, whose spicy recipe received the most votes from his coworkers. What a delicious way to celebrate autumn and Halloween!<\/p>\n

A big thank-you goes out to all the participants, and congratulations to the winners, who received a monetary prize and well-deserved bragging rights. Let\u2019s do it again next year!<\/p>\n
