CONNECTIONS
Perfection. Detail. Pride in accomplishment.
These things are cultural. Is culture about geography or mindset? I would argue that it is mindset and therefore something that can be developed. Once obtained, it is to be cherished, as it translates into continuous improvement and dedication to a craft. In turn, in our case, it makes the industrial world better. I am very proud to be able to showcase these examples of the culture at ICC.
The advantages of managing multiple large projects at once are multifold.
Urgency, attention to detail, efficiency and skill become highlighted. But people working together in a way that sometimes appears like a living breathing jigsaw puzzle, brings an intensity and enthusiasm that reminds all of us that what we do is important, and that every one of us is indispensable.

Why expand? Because this is frankly just silly.
Adding an additional lathe with additional undercutting capability is at the top of the list, along with brand new vertical CNC and banding equipment. Stay tuned as we make progress!
When recently preparing a presentation on leadership, I headed to the floor and asked my guys what I was good at and what I wasn’t. I got many answers (some I might frankly rather not have heard).
One conversation stood out though. “Sometimes, Laura, your expectations seem a little out of line.” I asked if they were too low 😉. They came back, though, and said, “But, whenever you throw something out there that we think is impossible, the next thing we know, we made it happen. Suddenly, we realize that we are better than we thought.”
That ability to all work together, to strive, and to grow has somehow, in these crazy times, resulted in ICC being named to the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Companies in America. I have been told that DC is dying for my entire tenure. We believe in this industry, and we believe in our customers.
Together we are driving growth and making DC better. Thank you to all inside and outside of ICC who helped make this happen. This is a win for DC, and we are so honored. Inc. Magazine
