Our Culture: Built by Our People

Our team members are the heart of SWD. Their dedication, creativity, and collaborative spirit have shaped who we are today. Passion for our industry and our customers shines through in everything they do. As a family-owned company, we believe in helping our team grow through full in-house support. Here’s what our people say makes our culture special.

Life Beyond Work

Our team members value time with their families and pursuing personal interests. By focusing on taking time out for themselves and the people they love most, our team members know that their health and happiness are priorities at SWD. 

Voices That Matter

Our team stays connected through daily 10 AM huddles and town hall meetings, where everyone’s input shapes our direction. Their active participation keeps our communication channels open and ideas flowing. Our team doesn’t just talk, they listen. One person’s idea can easily spark another’s. Open collaboration helps springboard ideas into actions that can benefit our company, our industry, and our customers.

Taking Ownership

Our production team members don’t just follow protocols—they own them. They have the confidence to halt production when quality standards aren’t met, demonstrating their commitment to excellence. They know that every product reflects themselves, their team, and our company’s 50-year legacy. Following this high standard ensures employees and customers can have peace of mind that our products are built to last.

Creating Community

Our team brings their enthusiasm beyond their daily work. They organize company cookouts and team events that have become beloved traditions. Creating time to bond outside of the workplace grows stronger bonds between team members within the workplace. There is excitement in finding common interests, celebrating together, and looking forward to upcoming events. As they often say, “Our culture has changed for the better.”

From product testing to naming new products, our team’s hands-on involvement drives our progress. Their eagerness to take on challenges and push production forward shows in their work and results. Their personalized involvement in code advocacy and building standards reflects their investment in ensuring the products they deliver today meet the demands of tomorrow.
