Shared Values
Responsiveness.
We recognize that perfect is the enemy of the good. While we strive for data integrity and completeness, we proactively respond to organizational and customer needs to deliver actionable, innovative solutions in as short a time as possible.
Collaboration.
We engage with colleagues internally and across the globe to expand our horizon and envision the future. We seek participation from others to strengthen our ideas and deliver outputs that satisfy internal and external needs and create preference for our technologies and solutions.
Mindfulness.
We strive to remain alert to developments outside of our expectations that can lead to a greater situational awareness, improved decision-making, and better outcomes. We look for opportunities to move us into the future by being active, connected, and cognizant in the present.
Respect for diversity in thinking.
Alternative methods of accomplishing tasks are highly valued. We seek diverse opinions different from our own and from those who may be far removed from our domain to confirm or refute our current thinking. We ask ourselves, “What is she seeing that I am not? What is leading him to suggest that approach?”
Research Facilities
While most suppliers are preparing for the future, we are creating it. Our research and development activities are the force behind the patented technologies and innovative products that we bring to process industries worldwide.
With major R&D facilities in Europe and the USA, we are uniquely positioned to address process industry challenges and needs. In addition to internal product development activities, our research centers allow customers to simulate their own operating conditions and applications to identify and quantify opportunities for improvement.
