Big Company . . . with a small company mindset
Although we generate $2 billion in revenues annually and have over 8,000 employees and operations that span the globe, one of the reasons we believe we have been successful is because – in many ways – we do not think of ourselves as a big company. Our employee teams are proud of what their particular plant or location does and how they perform. Each business succeeds based on its products and how well they serve customer needs. Compared to our industry peers, we also have exceptionally low employee turnover, which provides continuity, experience and higher levels of performance.
