We believe in celebrating the incredible people who have shaped Tweet Garot Mechanical—not just when they retire, but while they’re still here. Over the years, some of our longest-standing colleagues have made invaluable contributions, yet as the company evolves, their impact can sometimes go unnoticed. We want to change that. TG Tributes is our way of honoring these individuals, sharing their stories, and ensuring they get the appreciation they deserve. Instead of waiting until a farewell party to express our gratitude, we’re making it a priority to recognize and celebrate them now.
