Chair’s Message

As the culture of work moves in the direction of the individual: virtual offices, flexible work hours, individual-centric training plans… we, in manufacturing, have a unique opportunity.

Richelle Andreas Chair | Board of Directors Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada

In order for a manufacturing company to achieve quality, safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement, our organizations need a workforce that values serving others. These are very special people who take pride in having an important role in achieving a common goal. They understand that being accountable to a team comes with personal responsibility.

While the rest of the work culture moves towards being more alone, manufacturing provides excellent career opportunities for people who find joy in being with others.

Manufacturing is a tough industry, but it is also a rewarding one.

There is nothing better than seeing a truckload of shiny new product rolling out of the yard on its way to the customer. Whether you were the person that tacked the first seam, painted the last panel, put on the swooshy decal, cut the PO for the cylinders, built the jig that was used in assembly, negotiated the order with the customer, wrapped the pallet, or made sure the lights were turned on in the plant every morning and the doors locked every evening, every single person in the plant can take pride that their work helped create something of value.
