The afternoon began with presentations from **CEO Allen Mills**, **Director of Operations Daniel Webster**, and **Chief Commercial Officer Timothy Riethmiller**, who provided insights on Q3 performance, addressed challenges, and shared an optimistic vision for the road ahead. ### Honoring Excellence A highlight of the event was the presentation of NexGen’s **Core Value Award**, this quarter recognizing **Dan Davis** for his embodiment of **Commitment to Excellence**. Known for his professionalism, craftsmanship, and steady leadership, Dan has become a cornerstone of operational success—and his award was met with heartfelt applause from peers. ### Community and Competition ![HR Manager Mark Mastin stands next to his GTO, winner of the People’s Choice award.](https://nexgenmade.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_0621.jpg?width=586&height=440&name=IMG_0621.jpg)The celebration extended beyond the town hall, featuring a lineup of employee-led activities designed to bring teams together in true Indiana style. From a **Corn Hole Tournament** to a **Euchre showdown**, the day offered opportunities for team members to relax, connect, and compete in good fun. The **Motorcycle and Car Rally** turned heads across the lot, with HR Manager **Mark Mastin** earning the **People’s Choice Award** for his standout classic GTO—a crowd favorite that brought personality and horsepower to the picnic. A company raffle packed with prizes kept the energy high, and to beat the summer heat, employees cooled down with shaved ice from **Kona Ice**, which served as a sweet conclusion to the afternoon. ### A Culture of Appreciation To commemorate the occasion, team members also received **custom NexGen-branded hats**, designed and produced in partnership with **Fully Promoted Fishers**. These tokens of appreciation underscored the company’s commitment to investing in its people and reinforcing a culture where every employee feels valued. ### Looking Ahead As NexGen enters the final quarter of the year, the energy from the Q3 event continues to fuel momentum across the organization. With ambitious goals on the horizon and a growing team behind them, leadership remains focused on delivering world-class manufacturing solutions—while never losing sight of the people who make it possible. NexGen extends its sincere gratitude to everyone who helped bring the Q3 Town Hall and Summer BBQ Picnic to life—and looks forward to continued success, innovation, and team unity in the months ahead. ![Team members enjoying a spirited Euchre match during the NexGen picnic.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0624.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0624.jpg) ![Employees participate in a cornhole tournament during NexGen’s summer celebration.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0619.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0619.jpg) ![NexGen leadership delivers Q3 performance presentation at company town hall event.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0601.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0601.jpg) ![Motorcycle and car rally at NexGen picnic featuring employee vehicles on display.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0607.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0607.jpg) ![Employees participate in a cornhole tournament during NexGen’s summer celebration.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0612.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0612.jpg) ![Employees lined up at the Kona Ice truck for a cool treat during NexGen’s summer picnic.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0618.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0618.jpg) ![NexGen Manufacturing team gathers outdoors during Q3 Town Hall and Summer BBQ Picnic.](https://6442575.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/6442575/hubfs/IMG_0604.jpg?width=1200&length=1200&name=IMG_0604.jpg) [![Share on facebook](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/facebook-color.png?width=24&name=facebook-color.png) ](https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://7528302.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528302/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/linkedin-color.png?width=24&name=linkedin-color.png) ](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on twitter](https://7528304.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528304/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/twitter-color.png?width=24&name=twitter-color.png) ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=) [![Share on email](https://7528311.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528311/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/email-color.png?width=24&name=email-color.png) ](mailto:?subject=Check+out+https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail&body=Check+out+https%3A%2F%2Fnexgenmade.com%2Fnexgen-manufacturing-news%2Fnexgen-q3-townhall-summer-picnic-2025%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ## Related Posts [ ### Q2 at NexGen: A Celebration of Progress, Partnership, and People On April 18, 2025, NexGen Manufacturing hosted its Q2 Town Hall at our Knightstown facility — a...
