Guiding Principles: Customer Focused A leader in technology A great place to work	Led with excellence Committed to growth Known by its values

Customers

“The most important trip you take in life is meeting people half way” – Henry Boyle

Always understand customer requirements and satisfy their highest expectations.Be close to our customers at all levels and include them in activities that drive optimum solutions.

Be ready on short notice to accommodate urgent requests. Be very easy to do business with.

Be fanatical about listening, being responsive and following through on commitments, while avoiding any kind of arrogance or indifference.

Management

“Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to.” – source unkown

The character of a company is determined by its leadership – their values, competence, energy, ability to work well together and the example they set. We aspire to be excellent leadership at all levels.

A chief function of management is to serve subordinates – to set clear goals, encourage initiative, give positive reinforcement, remove roadblocks, secure needed resources (including help from others), evaluate and recognize progress, and provide a safe place for our employees.

In resolving conflict, we will work toward “win-win” resolution, regarding both individual worth and our need to continually improve.

Technology

“There are only two ways to establish competitive advantages: do things better than others or do them differently.” – Karl Albrecht

Product excellence embraces design, performance, reliability, simplicity, serviceability and manufacturability – avoiding costs that cannot be recovered in the marketplace.

Require outstanding manufacturing methods, business processes, machinery, equipment and parts in order to achieve product quality, low cost and minimal frustration to our employees.

Invest carefully and wisely in all resources seeking to find the optimum balance with people, equipment, and time.

Committed to Growth

“Quality is not an act, It is a habit” – Aristotle

We aspire to sustained growth, recognizing the benefits for ownership, employees, customers and the community.

We will pursue internal growth – opportunities that are adjacent to our core business and which add value to our customers, and external growth – opportunities which take us in new directions outside the core business, as long as we do not put the core business at risk.

Further, we fully embrace proven management systems that will enhance our overall capabilities with continuous improvement programs.

Work Environment

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill

We want our work and work relationships to be dynamic, challenging, rewarding and respectful – and all employees to be knowledgeable and well trained, with a strong sense of accountability and personal responsibility.

We anticipate ongoing change, and want change to be viewed as an opportunity not a threat.

We will foster a culture of innovation throughout the company, encouraging both large and small improvements.

Values

“Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.” – John Wooden

Our intention is to be a Christ-centered company, recognizing and managing our stewardship responsibilities.

We will conduct ourselves with dignity, adhering to the highest ethical and moral standards.

We desire to be known as honorable, reliable and trustworthy. We expect to be modest in our style and conduct.

We don’t apologize for being old-fashioned when it comes to hard work, providing value and keeping commitments.

We want to be good “corporate citizens” – active in serving others, helping meet human needs in the community and beyond.
