Commitment to Quality and Excellence
Driven by a focus on excellence in people, products, service, and partnering relationships, Masco remains committed to being a premier growth company—a commitment that has resulted in above-average increases in earnings and value to shareholders.
The entrepreneurial spirit of founder Alex Manoogian and his commitment to excellence permeates the organization to this day. His vision, nurtured and developed during Masco’s formative years, stands as the foundation upon which the company has built a record of growth matched by few companies in America.
“Do not be satisfied with average performance,” Manoogian advised his employees. “Strive for excellence. If you cannot give your customers a better value and a better product, do not sell the product.”
Executive Chairman Richard Manoogian shares his father’s vision and commitment to excellence and has driven the Company’s growth to new heights in the past two decades.
The Masco quest for quality and its standard of excellence remain as strong today as yesterday.
