APR: "The Vision"...What is APR all about?

Before Dan and I actually started the original partnership, Allen Plastics Repair, in June 1985, we discussed
our mission, goals, and concept of the way business should be conducted. We believed then, as
we believe now, that without the highest level of integrity, morality, and commitment, there can be no success.

Our philosophy includes a firm commitment to:

Consistently provide more than our customers expect in the design and quality of our products, and in the level of service, before, during, and after the sale, in order to become and remain the best choice for custom fabricated plastic products in the industry.
Provide the leadership and foundation on which, as a team, we can build a business to be proud of, in the products and services we offer and in the knowledge that it was done with integrity.
Share the opportunity to take an active part, both individually and as a team, in the growth and prosperity of APR.
Keep a pleasant, efficient, clean, and safe work environment in which all stakeholders can learn and grow to realize their potential.
Ensure meaningful and secure employment and career opportunities, based on both individual performance, and teamwork.
Continue an "open book/open door" policy to promote active knowledge and participation in the workings of APR (both technical and financial), to encourage individual and group input from all stakeholders, and offer each employee the opportunity to be a part of APR.
Sponsor continuing education for all stakeholders, in applicable fields, to build our knowledge base, further our collective goals, increase and improve our capabilities, enrich our community and better serve our customers.
Provide the flexibility and freedom required to encourage self motivation, individual contribution, sacrifice and reward, and teamwork in all aspects of our shared endeavor.

As we approach the start of our Seventeenth year, I reflect upon the past as a guide to the future.
Starting out with an idea and a second mortgage, we worked diligently to build not only our business, but also the philosophy upon which it is based. We learned from our mistakes, constantly improving our processes, capabilities, designs, and quality, all the while maintaining the highest level of integrity. Today, with over sixty employees and an ever growing customer base, it becomes very clear that APR is on the right track and, with the help of everyone involved, we can continue to look forward to a bright and successful future.
