    Autonomous Management - an environment of trust that promotes attitudes, actions, and initiative that emulate ownership.
  • Outstanding Service - through lifelong personal relationships with each other and with our customers.
  • Valued Coworkers - providing personal development opportunities and a share in our success.
  • Respect and Integrity - treating every customer and coworker the way we want to be treated, and doing what we say we will do.
  • Stewardship - leaving our businesses in better condition than when they were placed in our care by taking reasonable, measured, risks to add value.
  • Reinvestment - regular reinvestment of 70 to 80% of after tax earnings that is essential to long term sustained growth.
  • Sharing - voluntary sharing of experience and core competencies that present the greatest opportunity for consistent long-term development of all in a trusting environment.
  • Fun! - We encourage those associated with us to make it that way - for themselves and everyone else around them. Work should be fun!
