In-Sink 2.0: 12 keys to success
By Matt Sink, CEO
Mickey Truck Bodies has been privately owned by the Mickey family since it was founded in 1904, and is now in its fourth generation of family ownership and day-to-day operation. Like all great and enduring companies, throughout our history we have shifted our business strategies and operational practices countless times. Certainly this year, with all the changes and restrictions brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been anything but ?business as usual? as we strive to keep our employees safe and our customers happy. We are working differently.
However, while we have changed our strategies, our products, and our services over the years to meet and exceed market demands and customer needs, we have always preserved our company?s core values and corporate culture. We never have, and never will, waver from the principles that make us a successful enterprise. In this strange and unpredictable year, we sat down and thought through the past, present and future keys to our success. Here?s the list:
