About Company Culture

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary gives the following definition of culture:

"The set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices that characterizes a company or corporation."

Our attitudes
Our set of shared attitudes are best determined by you our customers. It is you who are on the phone with us ordering your drawer slides, hinges and laminate; you are the ones interfacing with our outside sales representatives; it is you who are resolving matters with our credit and accounts receivable departments; and you are the ones greeting our truck drivers when they arrive at your places of business. It would be foolish for us to think that there could be a better judge of the results of our shared attitude than you. We hope it is good.

Our values
Although our shared values have not taken the form of a corporate document, behind these web pages are real people who value the same things as everybody else. We value our families, we value our communities and we value doing a good job for you.

Our goals
Every business needs to make money in order to survive. We understand that our profits begin with you and are nothing more than the residual benefit of doing things right. Doing things right and providing a friendly open environment for the exchange of ideas are goals we are trying to reach daily.

Our practices
Several years ago the writings of W. Edwards Deming were introduced to the company by Robert E. Bradley, Jr.. Bob has been the consistent advocate of Deming's principles and our culture continues to explore the meaning of the virtues contained in his powerful teachings, especially the one about driving out fear.
