Automation
Our commitment to this strategy is reflected in the fact that training currently represents our largest investment
Looking forward to the year ahead, Matt outlines the company’ s ambitions:“ We’ re expecting a significant amount of growth because of the new markets we have entered. For example, we have our new digital print division, where we have developed innovative direct object printing technologies that we have patented. We are also developing new concepts that to our knowledge no one else in automation has done with certain machines, such as magnetic tile systems.
“ We have a very bright group of young engineers. We have one of the youngest engineering departments I have ever seen. They’ re constantly coming up with breakthrough developments that ensure we can stay ahead of the curve.”
Matt concludes by reiterating the positive impact company culture has had on the business’ s performance:“ We make sure we stay connected to our employees. Our managers speak to every single team member every day so that everyone knows what is going on with every project. Despite almost doubling the size of the business in the last couple of years, we have maintained this connection. This creates a culture where we bring in a great young person without the skills and develop them into a troubleshooter or assembler within a couple of years.” ■
