Successful Manufacturing Starts With Respect
August 4, 2009
Armstrong International, a privately-owned mid-sized manufacturing corporation in Michigan has been steadily growing even during the recession. In fact, in all their 109 years, they’ve never had a single layoff. What’s the secret to their success?
Fourth-generation CEO David Armstrong says it all starts with establishing a work culture based on respect. “People like to focus on quality and service, but I view that as a given. Those are basic principles you should follow and if you don’t already have those, you’re already in trouble.”
Armstrong believes the key to a successful manufacturing operation is one that focuses on building a culture based on core values, such as honesty and respect.
