We
Win With People:
It
is our belief that our employees set us apart from
the competition. Within our dedicated Learning Center,
we educate, test and certify our staff members in
a manner which supports our corporate philosophy of
employee empowerment and ongoing training.
We
equip our employees with the right 'tools', through
training, monitoring and evaluation, to ensure high
standards of performance and quality.
We
have a certified operator program that
requires successful completion of training
modules before an operator is qualified
to operate automatic presses. In addition,
all hourly manufacturing employees must
show proficiency in job-related activities
after going through an on-the-job training
program designed for their respective
functions.
Everyone,
from our maintenance staff and production employees,
to our administrative support staff and design engineers,
shares our corporate commitment to excellence, continuous
improvement, and unparalleled service. Pridgeon &
Clay employees take great pride in our work; and that
pride shows through in the high quality of our final
product.
