We call it The Watlow Way: A people-centric strategy that defines the key principles, behaviors and values that guide our interaction with each other and our customers each day. More than a corporate mission statement, the Watlow Way serves as our ”True North,” which includes:
Founded in 1922, Watlow has created a business culture that is anchored to our purpose of “Enriching Lives Through Inspired Innovation,” which challenges us to consistently provide high impact technology and solutions that improve our customers’ competitive advantage.
Impact
Every day people experience products and services made possible through Watlow. Our industrial technology is used by leading companies in semiconductor processing to manufacture integrated circuits used in cell phones, computers and consumer electronics. Our larger scale heat exchangers can be found in systems used to deliver the energy and fuel required to heat your homes or power your vehicles and our safe and reliable thermal management systems enable lifesaving products such as kidney dialysis and blood analysis equipment. We have recently extended our ongoing commitment to the medical research and clinical community supporting our customers on the front lines developing testing and treatment for COVID-19.
Investing in team member growth and development is one of the ways we strive to continually demonstrate how working at Watlow is different. The bedrock of our corporate culture is built upon our four core values, which include:
Team members who chose to embrace these values and join us will enjoy a high performing, collaborative environment where they can build a rewarding career path. We invest in personal growth and development through our coaching forward philosophy that equips all team members to contribute with autonomy, mastery and purpose. We are dedicated to developing the talent of our team members in a culture that was founded on innovation and product leadership.
At Watlow our culture can be described as “constructive,” which means that our team members are high achieving, high self-actualizing, high humanistic and encouraging and highly affiliative. A welcoming environment where team members “Want to” versus “Have to.” Where they know what they do matters, and they feel valued for the gifts they share with others. Where they solve challenging problems working on collaborative teams, big and small, composed of the brightest and most innovative people, which truly makes our team members our most important asset. We all succeed together, which is why we focus our efforts on building a highly constructive culture. We embrace diversity as an integral part of who we are, how we operate and how we see our future.
