ANCORP in Williston has been manufacturing high end and ultra high end vacuum components since 1965.
It’s part of a very exclusive group of global companies — less than 5 — that produce these parts. To grow in such a niche industry for more than five decades does not happen by chance; such staying power requires expert craftsmanship and constantly staying ahead of competitors.
It also takes a positive work culture, which the company prides itself on. During a two-year re-branding, ANCORP assembled its 26 Fundamentals that defines that culture. Those fundamentals are:
- Think Safe, Work Safe
- Do the right thing. Always.
- Do quality work
- Be a customer advocate
- Take pride in our appearance
- Honor commitments
- Treat others with respect and kindness
- Find a way
- Be relentless about improvement
- Practice blameless problem-solving
- Get clear on expectations
- Take ownership
- Show meaningful appreciation
- Think team first
- Be a continuous learner
- Listen generously
- Speak straight
- “Bring it” every day
- Invest in relationships
- Own your work
- Be a fanatic about response time
- Maintain work-life harmony
- Embrace change
- Pitch in wherever necessary
- Reduce or eliminate waste
- Keep things fun!
