Chris
Chris’ work ethic, positive attitude, and thirty years of driving experience laid the groundwork for him to be the winner of the MATHESON Bulk Driver of the Year Award for 2022. The Driver of the Year program recognizes MATHESON’s best drivers for their dedication to safety, on-time delivery and customer service, and the Bulk Driver of the Year Award is the most prestigious award presented to the “best of the best” of all bulk drivers. “I was honored and surprised when I found out I won. I was honored that my name was in the running and surprised because I was doing what I have done for the last thirty years.”
Chris’ honor does not come as a shock to those who know him well. His hard-working attitude is infectious and has helped create a bond with his co-workers at MATHESON. “A lot of us have similar interests, goals, and work ethic. We all are very focused on getting the products to our customers in a timely and safe manner.”
Chris’ passion for his job can be seen daily and he passes that enthusiasm on to the new employees he is training. “Our manufacturing process is fascinating to me and to know that we help support so many different industries provides me with a sense of ownership in helping not only our customers but also helping people throughout the region.”
When Chris is not working, he can often be found spending time with his kids, kayaking, and hosting karaoke parties. Chris’ selflessness is not only seen at work but also in his personal life where he enjoys spending time giving back to his community, whether it be through volunteering for his local fire department or helping in his neighborhood.

Frontline Workers are the Pulse of Our Company
Beat the Summer Heat with Nitro Coffee
Nitro coffee is ice-cold coffee on tap. It’s treated with nitrogen and/or carbon dioxide under high pressure, then chilled in a keg and served on draught with a foamy top layer.
MATHESON supplies beverage grade nitrogen and complete equipment solutions for Nitro Coffee.
This specific type of coffee is not only rich and creamy, it’s also slightly effervescent due to the tiny bubbles suspended inside the refreshing beverage. Nitro coffee also has a chocolate-like sweetness to it and is less acidic compared to large-batch cold brewed coffee, all without the need for sugar or creamer.
Nitrogen is insoluble in liquid, which is what contributes to the thick mouth feel. This effect is helped by a special piece of tap equipment that forces the coffee through tiny holes before it lands in the glass. That process causes the “rising” effect that is topped with the head. It’s worth noting that really only the bubbles on the sides of the glass are the ones that fall. Inside they are actually rising, as typically seen with many poured carbonated beverages.
MATHESON manufactures and supplies both nitrogen and carbon dioxide in a full range of purity grades and a variety of container sizes and types.
MATHESON also offers configured specialized systems that will deliver premium Nitro Coffee to your customers and help increase sales. We supply and install the entire system including all stainless steel containers, fittings, faucets, food grade fittings, tubing, etc.
We at MATHESON will even provide our exclusive recipe to make your Nitro Coffee a differentiator for your business.
