Strategic Evolution for Sustainable Growth
Myers Industries' growth is fueled by the Company's Strategic Business Evolution (SBE) plan, which is built around five key operating principles: 1) Business Growth, 2) Customer Satisfaction, 3) Cost Control, 4) Organizational Development and 5) Positioning the Business for the Future -- through product innovation, development of new markets and sales channels, acquisitions, productivity initiatives, capital effectiveness and, as necessary, business reorganization.
All of these areas work in tandem with numerous other strategic activities to strengthen our brands with value-added, customer-preferred product and service solutions, and to position our brands in niche markets as either number one or number two in share.
In doing so, the Company expects to continue to generate strong cash flow that allows for reinvestment in our growth strategy, debt reduction, greater shareholder value and achievement of the Company’s Strategic Objective.
Strategic Objective
"Myers Industries' strategic objective is to deliver sustainable, profitable growth across our markets and to improve the financial health for our shareholders, customers and employees."
