Otis Site Recognized for Corporate Citizenship

The Otis Service Center in Bloomfield, Conn., has a culture of supporting local communities – and has continued to step up through the global pandemic.

That’s why it was welcome recognition when our team in Bloomfield was recently awarded an “Outstanding Community Partner” award from the town’s mayor.

“I couldn’t be more proud of all of my colleagues at the Otis Service Center who volunteer their time to support our communities. It’s an honor that their hard work is recognized by the Bloomfield Town Council, and we’re inspired to continue to contribute to the communities where we live and work,” said Angelo Adams, Senior Director, Service Operations.

In the past year, the Otis Service Center team:

• Sponsored a team from Bloomfield High School in Otis’ inaugural Made To Move Communities STEM competition. The team placed first in our Americas competition, with solutions for improving contactless grocery pickups. 
• Donated more than 5,000 of units of PPE, including masks and cleaning supplies, to area nursing homes and schools
• 3D printed face shields for local nursing homes
• Held a coat drive, collecting more than 175 winter coats for area residents in need
• Supported the Foodshare Thanksgiving turkey drive
• Facilitated the donation of surplus laptops to Capital Community College for students to attend online classes.

The Otis Service Center provides parts fulfillment, field support and is home to our OTISLINE call center. There are approximately 440 employees at the site, who worked through the pandemic to provide essential services in support of critical infrastructure such as hospitals.

As part of its People & Communities ESG commitment, Otis recently announced a long-term goal to dedicate 500,000 colleague volunteer hours in support of vibrant communities, STEM education and social equity efforts globally by 2030.
