Our mission is one of commitment and value by a small family in a middle-sized American town. From our founding by Jim Bishop Sr. in 1964, our traditional business approach and old-fashioned ethics have resulted in extraordinary customer satisfaction and healthy growth. As a family-owned company we don't have board members or greedy investors to answer to--which allows us to focus our energies on the most important people in our industry, our customers. We love what we do. Maybe that's why we're more concerned with providing excellent quality, value and service than anything else. After all, it would be awfully hard for us to put our family name on anything else. We will create long term relationships with our customers, where they will be actively involved in marketing decisions, and where future customers are waiting in line to become a part of our team as we increase our overall capacity. Our service will be geared towards making life as easy as possible for our customers. We will approach ethics according to the Golden Rule: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. We will foster an environment in which every team member is not only encouraged to grow, but is given the resources to do so. Each member of our staff will recognize how they fit into the overall organization, and will know that he/she is an appreciated, vital member of the team. Our products will be unique and laden with value. We will foster long-lasting, trusting relationships with our suppliers, and will provide them with measurable, easy to understand requirements for each product that they provide to us.
