What I Like About Working at Whitcraft
There’s support from company ownership, with a focus on continuous improvement. This provides the right vision and tools to get the job done. The Company invests in their people, equipment and facilities. With this type of support, it fosters team work that allows us to strive for success. We have a vision for initiatives as well as strong process improvement and LEAN activities. Our product range is extremely interesting and diverse. Manufacturing these products requires a wide range of skills that helps the organization develop simple sheet metal parts up to and including complex fabrications.
