3. New Shop Upgrades
The BFS Industries shop received some updates in 2025. First, we added a CNC machine to enhance the quality and turnaround time of our control panel fabrication. Second, we put in several Big Ass Fans to keep our guys cooler in the summer months.
4. Complete Boiler Systems Golf Tournament Sponsorship
In June, BFS Industries sponsored the Complete Boiler Systems’ 23rd annual golf tournament to benefit the Ulman Foundation, which supports young-adult cancer patients. We’ve proudly sponsored the tournament for more than 20 years. Mike Monville and Matt Lemons represented BFS Industries at the tournament.
“I’ve been with BFS for three years now, and this was my first time representing the company at an event like this,” said Matt Lemons. “It was a fantastic opportunity to connect and have meaningful conversations with key people in our industry.”
We look forward to sponsoring next year’s tournament and adding several more exciting events to our calendar!
