Company Culture & Values

A Commitment to Our Purpose (COMMITTED PEOPLE) Our mission is to serve and build up our customers, suppliers, communities, and each other, guided by the principles of our Lord Jesus Christ. The commitment to serving and building up is easily seen in those employees that exemplify this value.

Without Our Customers We Are Nothing (CUSTOMER FIRST) We realize that we are blessed to serve our customers and without them, our company does not exist. They rely on us for their success and that is a responsibility we cannot take lightly. Our focus must be on serving them with as seamless communication and access to products as possible.

A Desire For Expert (EXPERTS) Our people want to be seen as the experts in their specific roles. From how we convert a bag efficiently and with highest quality, to knowledge of the product portfolio, to desiring to know more about tax or human resource policy the desire for expert drives us in each of our roles.
