ABS Receives Patriotic Employer Recognition from U.S. Department of Defense

We are honored to announce that Atlantic Bearing Services, represented by our CEO Alejandro Pardinas, has been officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary, and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) as a Patriotic Employer.

This prestigious distinction is awarded to organizations and leaders who demonstrate outstanding commitment to national defense by supporting employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve Forces. The certificate, signed by the ESGR National Chair and bearing the official seal of the Department of Defense, acknowledges our efforts to promote workplace flexibility, understanding, and opportunity for citizen-soldiers balancing civilian employment and military service.

The nomination was submitted by Nestor Belsol-USAF Veteran and presented by Florida ESGR Chair Eric Brown-USARMY Veteran during the official recognition.

A Recognition That Speaks to Our Values

This recognition is more than an award, it is a profound affirmation of our organizational values: respect, loyalty, responsibility, and shared service. At ABS, we believe that every member of our team should feel empowered to serve, both within the company and beyond. Supporting the Guard and Reserve members isn’t just an HR policy, it’s a moral imperative and a mark of a responsible corporate citizen.

Our support ensures that those who defend our freedoms abroad and at home are themselves supported by their colleagues, managers, and leaders. It reflects our belief in long-term social responsibility and the role of business in national resilience.

Leadership in Action

We extend special congratulations and appreciation to Alejandro Pardinas, whose leadership and advocacy for military-friendly practices led to this recognition. It is through such forward-thinking leadership that ABS continues to build a culture of excellence; one that celebrates service, honors commitment, and encourages civic engagement.

Why This Matters for All of Us

Receiving the Patriotic Employer award reinforces ABS’s position among a select group of companies recognized nationally for excellence in workforce support. This achievement is a shared milestone, reminding us that when we foster inclusivity, flexibility, and understanding, we unlock not only human potential, but collective strength.
As we continue to grow as a global player in industrial solutions, we remain deeply committed to values that make that growth meaningful: community, contribution, and character.

Join Us in Celebrating

Let us take a moment to reflect with pride on this honor and celebrate the people and principles that make ABS more than a company, it makes us a community.
We are grateful to our team members who serve, and we are committed to continuing our support for those who protect and serve our nation.
