Quality Products, Quality Service and Quality People.”

The Philosophy of the Irving Companies Is Reflected
in the Following Statement from the Employee Handbook.

"We want to be economically sound. We must be able to produce quality material at the lowest possible cost, regardless of market conditions. To achieve that goal, we will strive to attract and retain honest, skilled and dedicated employees and not settle for second best. We work hard at Irving Companies. Anything less is not acceptable. Hard work and dedication are what this company has been built on. The continued prosperity of this operation will be determined by the efforts of our employees. If our employees are successful, then Irving Companies will be successful.

Reflected in these statements are attitudes which have become deeply rooted in the Irving family. From Jim Irving, renowned Chairman of the Irving Companies with over six decades of successful experience and leadership, to his two sons Tom and Jerry and daughter Judy McKeever (who head up the operating units today), to the third generation family members now serving in the businesses; it is a kind of commitment that makes these companies good places to work, dependable suppliers and seems to assure a bright future."
