Company Overview

Ask anyone who works at IDEAL to describe the company, and you’ll hear words like “refreshing” and “entrepreneurial.” From our top engineers and industrial designers to IDEAL product experts working in the field, and every role in between, creative freedom and collaboration allows every IDEAL team member to thrive.

It all comes from these core values that drive our company and empower our employees.
 

BELIEF IN OUR PEOPLE

People are the foundation of IDEAL INDUSTRIES. We strive to ensure that every member of the IDEAL INDUSTRIES family is valued as an individual and treated with fairness, dignity and respect. We expect the very highest levels of performance and integrity from our employees, but we also strive to create opportunities for those employees to develop and reach the heights of their own potential.


LONG-TERM VALUE AND SUSTAINABILITY

We believe in the importance of generating profit and increasing shareholder value while also fostering a culture committed to the long term. Profit is a necessary part of sustaining a successful business that benefits every stakeholder—employees, customers, shareholders and communities included. We strive to generate profits while pursuing the highest ethical standards in every aspect of our business, from how we operate to how we take responsibility for our actions.

At IDEAL INDUSTRIES, we aim to manage not only the assets and performance of our business, but also its rich family heritage, the long-term sustainability of the family business, and our proud company culture overall.


COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

Our name comes from our founding principle. When J. Walter Becker started this company in 1916, he based it on an unshakeable belief in ideal relationships, with his employees, his community, and of course his customers. These are relationships built on fairness, transparency, trust and fellowship.

 

FAMILY-OWNED, PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED

We are a global, growing, multinational corporation creating in-demand electricity and connectivity solutions, yet at our heart, we are a family business. This unique balance makes us unlike any other company. It allows us to plan in generations, not quarters. It gives us the patience to let industry-transforming innovations come to fruition. And the ability to invest in our communities, bringing jobs and capital to the places we live.

More than one hundred years later, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. is a global enterprise with companies serving technicians and workers across a wide range of industries, from electrical to construction to aerospace to automotive. Our products have been instrumental in helping mankind reach from the South Pole to the Moon, and are paving new paths for the future. Because as J. Walter Becker taught us, when you honor relationships, success for all will follow.

We strive for excellence in everything we do, constantly seeking to evolve and improve our business practices to bring our customers the most exceptional products and services possible. This comprehensive commitment to excellence can be seen in each of our products, services, manufacturing practices and people.
