In Memory Of

Tony Novotny

In Loving Memory

It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the passing of SPG’s former VP Tony Novotny. Tony, also affectionately known by some as Uncle Tony, passed away peacefully in his home on June 26th, 2021.

Tony was truly an amazing man and we were blessed to have him serve in our leadership for over 20 years. He had a unique sense of humor that made us think before smiling. His dedication to this company and our people was remarkable and unwavering. Though he retired in 2019, Tony left a lasting impression on us all with no two experiences being the same. He walked the walk every day throughout his years and will forever remain in our hearts and his persona reflected in this company.

May the wind beneath your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks…

"I just want you to know that Cody is awesome 😊 you have wonderful employees but Cody has really went above and beyond for me today. I can’t thank him enough for all of the extra efforts he has went through to help me with a problem that I am pretty sure our facility created."

"Thank you for the great report Brandon…also, for the high level of professionalism displayed. As always, SPG’s customer support is unmatched in our industry. Have a great weekend."

"There are not many companies left that have customer service like yours and it is a real pleasure dealing with you!"

"But here's a sincere Thanksgiving reality....couldn't do business without you and your amazing team. Been around long enough to justify this statement...SPG is so exceptional, never saw another like it."

"Thanks again for all your help. It is really nice to work with a company that's so knowledgeable, friendly, and prompt. The level of customer service you guys consistently provide is the best I've ever dealt with."

"You are the best! Thanks again for all your help on this one. I can’t thank you and all your SPG team for the constant support you offer us!"

"Many thanks to you all! Without partners like SPG, we couldn’t pull off surviving in this industry. Seems like every day is a new challenge."

"You guys own it; that’s why SPG is the only hardware vendor we quote/order with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and courteous. It’s refreshing – trust me. We greatly appreciate!"

"I could not agree more. One of the most outstanding companies (SPG) I deal with in any capacity. A great team of people. Thank you all for all your hard work over the years."

"Thank you Cody! Your attention to detail is always impeccable! I really appreciate your work on this project and thank you for taking the time to price the alternate as well!"

"I don’t know what I would do without all your help. Thank you ever so much for all you do."

"We have been hammering SPG with requests to a point that our file server has exceeded its storage limit. That made me realize just how much we are leaning on SPG and want to take the time to express my appreciation…."

"We really appreciate the folks at SPG too. There are only a handful of companies that I deal with that have excellent customer service - SPG is at the very top of the list."

"One of the most outstanding companies I deal with in any capacity. A great team of people. Thank you all for all your hard work over the years."

"Look forward to another successful job with SPG – seriously, ya’ll have changed our door and hardware game, for the better!"

"The hardware company that we use is Special Projects Group, Inc. in Suwanee, Georgia. I will put them up against any hardware company in the country concerning quality and service."

"Phillip, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. Thanks for keeping me out of trouble!"

"As always THANK YOU and you guys are the absolute best by far in the industry."

"We appreciate your team and their expertise, especially during these last couple of projects. You all have helped us navigate the turbulent, often-confusing waters of door hardware. Looking forward to doing more work together again."

"Incredible Customer Service thank you! If I had Alans email I would have copied him feel free to do so."

"You guys are amazing to work with. SPG is not just a hardware supplier, you all are a complete project support mechanism."
