Harmony Enterprises was saddened to hear of the passing of former employee, Steve Sagen this week. It is with the greatest respect that we offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers. We would like to take this opportunity to honor his life and reflect on his distinguished career.
Mr. Sagen started his employment at Harmony in 1976. In his distinguished 42 year career with Harmony Enterprises, Steve held the positions of Cost Accountant, Production Manager, Purchasing Agent, General Manager, Operations Manager, Director of Engineering and Design, Special Projects, Technical Support Engineer, and Quality Manager.
During this time, Steve took the lead role on many innovative projects, including solar-powered implementation, wireless monitoring technology, and quality assurance. He was also on the initial team that implemented the ISO standards at Harmony Enterprises. His work as a technical sales support engineer allowed Harmony to be on the cutting edge of product development and improvement. His leadership skills, passion, and courage to make a difference helped to catapult Harmony to the top of its industry sector.
Steve’s vast knowledge, ability to listen, and willingness to offer a friendly smile and support are just some of the things that were so highly valued by his colleagues. Steve retired in 2018 to enjoy golf, grow grapes, make wine, travel, and spend time with his family and friends.
It is because of the commitment and innovative spirit of dedicated employees like Steve, that Harmony Enterprises can call itself the global innovative solutions provider for the waste handling and recycling industry. We will miss his compassion, dedication, and inspiration.
Services for Steve Sagen will take place at 11:00 am on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at Assumption Catholic Church, Canton, Minnesota, with visitation beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the church.
