beyond day-to-day work and help people feel connected and included. That sense of community naturally carries into the workplace, where employees are more willing to collaborate, support one another, and hold themselves and each other accountable.” John agrees:“ Ashcroft’ s longevity comes down to its people and leadership. Our employees take pride in what they do and believe in the core values that define the company – accountable, connected and inventive.”
Looking to the future ahead, Ashcroft is well-positioned for many more decades of innovation, prosperity, and growth. Building further upon its successes of 2025, the organization continues to be defined as a company of excellence, with a rich legacy of quality, dynamism, and strategic development, as it moves into its next chapter in 2026.
“ One of our key governance strategies, fully implemented in 2025, is conducting structured quarterly reviews with our suppliers. In 2026, we plan to further elevate this approach by deepening collaboration and accountability across our supplier network. These reviews enable transparent, datadriven conversations focused on continuous improvements such as on-time delivery performance, quality and defect trends, critical part risk, and the establishment of dual-sourcing where appropriate. By strengthening supplier partnerships in this way, we are reinforcing responsible sourcing practices, operational resilience, and longterm value creation,” Arlene emphasizes, optimistic for the rest of the year ahead.
“ My long-term vision is to build strong, integrated global supply-chain partnerships,” she adds.“ Ashcroft has a strong international footprint, and we are continuing to strengthen supply-chain capabilities across our global divisions. I look forward to advancing our Integrated Business Planning( IBP) process so we can achieve a truly enterprise-wide view of
the business and its global operations. We are well positioned and firmly on the path to fully mature IBP capabilities within the next three to five years.”
John concludes:“ From a brand and marketing perspective, Ashcroft has a strong reputation for precision and protection. Customers in critical industries value risk mitigation, so reliability and brand reputation matter. With its longevity in the market, Ashcroft is a trusted resource that our customers can rely on. The marketing campaigns we generate reinforce this core theme and help our customers made confident decisions when it comes to the instrumentation they use for their mission-critical applications. We emphasize‘ educational resources’ and provide product documentation, data sheets, manuals, blog articles, videos, and more to help customers optimize performance.
