Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting our local employees, customers, and their families at the 52nd Annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! This event brought together the local Akima community to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our amazing team in Albuquerque. At Akima’s viewing tent, guests had a front row seat to marvel at hundreds of balloons lifting off in the morning, and propane burners lighting up the evening horizon before a spectacular drone and fireworks show. Thank you to all of our local employees who contribute to our success every day! #Akima #EmployeeAppreciation #PositiveCulture

Akima's A Mission that Matters video recently won a gold Hermes Creative Award, administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals!
