HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.—All team members of Santinelli International, the lens finishing equipment leader, recently gathered on Long Island for presentations, strategic meetings and a company-wide celebration. Sales and service associates traveled from around the country to attend sales and service meetings, connect with home office associates and celebrate the company’s 25-year anniversary with equipment manufacturer, Nidek Co., Ltd.

Gerard Santinelli, president & CEO, presented a “state of the state” address to the organization, outlining the company’s short and long-term future plans, including revolutionary new products on the horizon.

The sales and service teams carved time out from their meetings for some team-building activities, including a New York Mets baseball game, an Atlantic Ocean fishing trip, go-cart racing and a world-class golf outing. The week concluded with a seaside lobster bake for all Santinelli associates, which included beach games with a Long Island sunset as a background.

According to Gerard Santinelli, “There’s nothing better than having the entire team gathered in a beautiful setting, sharing ideas, strategizing and discovering new ways to best serve our valued clients. This week together was also a great opportunity to celebrate 25 years of our business alliance with Nidek—a truly remarkable milestone.”
