Our Mission Is Simple
Every customer's complete satisfaction is our mission and the essential measurement for the success and sustainability of our entire company.
We do what it takes, no matter how tough or challenging the job, because our customers depend on us time and again.
Annual Sustainability Award Established in 2016
We have created an award — “The NC “Cec” Nielsen Memorial Sustainability Award” — to recognize one customer each year who demonstrates a commitment to a culture of sustainability inside and outside of their company.
By sustainability, we mean a business approach that creates long-term customer and employee value by considering every dimension of operations, including social, cultural, economic and environmental.
The spirit of our founder, N.C. “Cec” Nielsen, a thoughtful, visionary gentleman and business man, guides us as we consider the qualifications of our many customers and which customer exemplifies Cec's vision and commitment to overall sustainability.
