CEO's Message
As a leading global specialty materials company, we recognize that our people drive our growth and are at the core of our vision to create value by improving the image and performance of everything we touch. Our employees’ passion for innovation, commitment to building lasting customer partnerships, and dedication to the continued delivery of meaningful improvements in safety, quality and operational excellence are differentiating capabilities that enable our continued success.
Looking towards the future, our growth will be fueled by both organic efforts and acquisitions, as we invest in the platforms of advanced filtration, custom engineered materials, digital & specialty coatings, and packaging & design, while at the same time continuing to re-invigorate and re-invent our profitable, foundational categories. Our commitment to managing costs and capital efficiency, maintaining a prudent balance sheet, and providing shareholders with an attractive return is unchanged, and it is the combination of these that will drive the fulfillment of both our short-term objectives and our long-term ambitions.
Julie Schertell, President and Chief Executive Officer
