In recognition of World Safety Day, Ventek Solutions (formerly known as Sonoco) hosted a steak dinner to honor the dedication and service of the Tullahoma Police and Fire Departments. The event brought together first responders and Ventek team members in a relaxed, community-focused gathering that highlighted the shared commitment to safety and public service. Held at Ventek’s facility, the dinner featured hearty meals and highlighted the importance of safety in both the workplace and the community.

Ventek Solutions, a local manufacturing company and longtime advocate for safety initiatives, said the dinner was a gesture of gratitude for those who work tirelessly to protect and serve.

“It’s a small gesture for the tremendous service they provide to our community. Safety is a key pillar for Ventek, and we wanted to thank those who help keep us safe every day,” said Plant Manager Jason Antras.

Representatives from both the police and fire departments expressed their appreciation for the support, noting how valuable it is to strengthen ties between first responders and local businesses.
