I serve as Chief Executive Officer at Hamilton Associates, Inc., the corporate and administrative backbone of three inter-related manufacturing firms: Elevator Safety Company, Inc. (ELSCO), Air Techniques International (ATI), and Dirtkiller Inc. Though our three companies operate in different markets and sell very different kinds of products, we are united in a common purpose, shared cultural values, and a deep rooting in Lean philosophy. Our purpose is to make the world a better place through responsible manufacturing. As a third-generation family firm, we are intensely conscious of the obligations of stewardship inherent in business ownership. Hamilton companies manufacture responsible products for critical applications; built to provide enduring value for human living. Moreover, we conduct our business in a fashion that is responsible to our customer, employee, supplier, local, and global communities.Our open, Lean culture supports and reflects that purpose. We foster a team environment where respect for human value and ingenuity is paramount. We model servant leadership in management, and solicit intellectual contribution from all team members. We try to foster an environment where the best ideas, rooted in fact-based, data-driven understanding, win. And we embrace change in the recognition that we’re not as good as we can be yet. Our current focus is to extend our purpose’s reach through responsible growth. Our three business units seek expansion through organic initiatives, partnerships, and acquisition -- while our corporate parent aligns our culture, processes, and skill sets to position us for new platform acquisitions.Achieving this growth requires us to add talent across our organization. For individuals with skill sets and personal values that complement our business goals and culture, we provide the opportunity for personal and professional growth. Our success together rises many boats at once: yours, the company’s, and our many stakeholders'.
