In her remarks at the ribbon cutting, Kain proudly stated, "I couldn't be happier for our clients and prouder of our staff! Our team is constantly seeking to improve supply chain service levels and bring competitive advantage to our clients. This past year has been challenging on supply chain infrastructure.

Over the past year, along with increasing COVID-19 test kit order volumes, ALOM onboarded new technology-driven client programs in the automotive, energy, technology, consumer, and medical industries contributing to period of growth for its client base.
Reflecting on the company's evolution and growth, Kain added, "25 years ago, ALOM first opened its doors right here in Fremont at the epicenter of Silicon Valley technology innovation. Since that time our focus on quality and operational excellence supported by our cultural values of diversity, inclusion, and environmental sustainability have been in perfect alignment with the City of Fremont and the progressive client brands we support in the marketplace. It pleases me to know our clients, business, and industry partners value this expertise and focus which have laid the foundation for our successful and continuing growth, keeping ALOM at the forefront of industry innovation."
