Mission Statement

Why have we chosen as our mission TO PROVIDE PRODUCTS AND VALUE ADDED SERVICES TO THE GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY THROUGH HIGH TRUST RELATIONSHIPS, CUSTOMISED SOLUTIONS AND COMPETITIVE PRICING? Because these 21 words best describe our culture. Since our early days we have always worked to be more than just a supplier of parts, but to work together with our customers to meet their specific needs. We pride ourselves on our ability to develop specialty products and or personalized services tailored to our customer's needs. This can mean we stock their shelves on a regular basis or maintain their product flow and even creating or modifying products to meet their particular needs. Our people in the field are prepared not only with a high degree of product knowledge but also have been thoroughly inoculated with our mission statement so that they know not to turn away from issues.

Some say that to hang our mission statement on our office walls is excessive, but we disagree. It is a constant reminder of what we stand for and a very integral part of our culture. Our people are passionate about what they do and are here to advocate for our customers. Over the years we have established very personal relationships with our clients and they appreciate the fact that they know who is on the other end of the email or telephone, and are confident that their needs will not be ignored or put on hold.

Let us prove it to you.

Core Values

Our core values are the heartbeat of our company - they give our mission statement the gas to make it run and it all starts with Respect. If we have no respect for management, each other or our customers then we are out of gas. What are the essentials that define us and make us successful? We call it RESPEC2T:

  • R = Results (both for us as well as our clients)
  • E = Empowerment (0ur people are empowered to do what is right)
  • S = Success (only if we meet the terms of our mission statement)
  • P = Performance (quick, precise and pleasing)
  • E = Execution (do what we say and say what we do)
  • C2 = Communication and Commitment (leave no one in the dark)
  • T = Trust (once the project has been handed off results will follow)

These words define and what stands behind them defines us. We challenge you to test our core values and experience our commitment yourself.
