MUZA reaches 1 million hours without a lost-time injury
MUZA reaches 1 million hours without a lost-time injury
OSHKOSH, Wis. - For nearly 100 years, MUZA Sheet Metal Company has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, innovative architectural metal solutions, and doing things the right way. For MUZA’s leadership team, the company’s success is about more than the buildings it helps create. It is about the people who make that work possible.
That belief is reflected in the company's newest milestone.
MUZA is proud to announce it has achieved 1,000,000 hours worked without a lost-time injury - a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the professionalism, accountability, and shared commitment of every team member across its manufacturing facilities and jobsites throughout the Midwest.
For a company whose work takes place in manufacturing facilities, on rooftops, and in active commercial construction environments every day, one million safe hours represents far more than a number. It represents a culture built over generations - one where team members take pride in their work, look out for one another, and understand that how the job gets done is just as important as the finished product.
“We’re incredibly proud of the buildings we help create, but we’re even more proud of the people who build them,” said Sam Blanck, president of MUZA. “Nothing we do is more important than making sure every member of our team returns home safely to their family each day. Reaching one million hours without a lost-time injury is an incredible milestone because it reflects the culture our team has built together and the responsibility we share to look out for one another.”
Founded in 1928, MUZA has grown from a local sheet metal contractor into a leading architectural sheet metal manufacturer and installer serving the Midwest. As the company has expanded its capabilities and product offerings, it has remained committed to the craftsmanship, integrity, and care for its people that have guided it for nearly a century.
“Buildings are the result of great craftsmanship, but great companies are built by great people,” said Carven Blanck, CEO and chairman of MUZA. “As we approach our 100th anniversary, it is this culture, not just the buildings we have constructed, that will define the legacy we are most proud to leave."
According to Safety Director Myles Mason, reaching the milestone was the result of thousands of everyday decisions made by employees across the company.
"One million safe hours doesn't happen by accident. It happens when every employee takes ownership, supervisors lead by example, and everyone understands that looking out for one another is part of the job. That shared commitment is what makes this milestone so meaningful.”
As MUZA looks toward its second century, the company remains committed to investing in its people, advancing innovative architectural metal solutions, and preserving the values that have guided the organization since 1928. While one million safe hours is an accomplishment worth celebrating, company leaders view it as another milestone in a legacy that continues to grow stronger with each generation.
The buildings MUZA creates are designed to stand the test of time, but the company's greatest legacy will always be the people and culture behind them.
