Our CultureOver the course of 40+ years, we have developed a culture that sets us apart as a company and brings us together as a team.
In its simplest form, culture is how things get done around here. It’s how we think, how we approach our work and how we treat our customers, suppliers and each other.
Our culture is characterized by a focus on facts and fundamentals, a passion for continuous improvement and an emphasis on innovation. Employees bring our culture to life. We hire talented people, provide ongoing training for them and encourage continuous learning. We provide an environment where all employees are treated with respect and valued for the contribution they make to the success of the company. Our culture of excellence provides us with a durable competitive advantage. That durability is illustrated by our long-standing leadership in the suspension assembly market. At one time, we had over 30 competitors. Today, we have only two. The others weren’t able to respond to the industry's technology shifts, the intense competition and the ever-increasing market requirements. The merits of our culture are also evident in the patient monitoring breakthrough represented by our InSpectra™ StO2 Tissue Oxygenation Monitor. From the very start, our entry into the medical market emphasized the application of scientific and economic principles to solve problems and bring value to the customer. As a result, we brought an innovative new product to the medical market that overcomes deficiencies of current methods of measuring tissue oxygenation and fills a critical information gap. Consistently delivering problem-solving innovation requires a unique mix of economic understanding, scientific and engineering expertise, market insight, and operational excellence that is not easily replicated. Our culture of excellence is the foundation of our competitive advantage. |
