Sonnax Bus Tour and 25 Year Anniversary

To kick off the celebration of Sonnax's 25-year anniversary, customers were invited to tour their facilities in Bellows Falls, Vermont on Thursday, October 11, 2001. This event was in conjunction with Trans Expo 2001 held in Providence, Rhode Island. Charter buses were provided for this trip, which included a tour of the Sonnax facilities, a BBQ picnic with Sonnax employees -- providing an opportunity to meet the various members of the Sonnax Team, a new product presentation and a chance to experience fall foliage in New England.

Sonnax has gone from its humble beginnings working out of a garage selling automotive governors and gears, to becoming the leading supplier of aftermarket parts to torque converter rebuilders. President Neil Joseph said, "Sonnax was pleased to meet with the Trans Expo 2001 attendees who were able to make the trip and would like to thank them for their participation in helping us begin our 25th year."
