Eaton Visits Hydraulic Supply Co.
On 10-26-06 Hydraulic Supply Company enjoyed having Senior Eaton Management visit our Corporate Offices in Sunrise, Florida . Present from Eaton were William R. VanArsdale (President, Eaton Hydraulics), Scott A. Krueger (VP, Americas), Paul W. David (Sales Director, Americas), and Michael Waite (Regional Manager). The primary purpose of the visit was to continue to strengthen the ties of a relationship established back in 1947. And though the players have changed some, the bond and the mutual goals have NEVER been stronger. You know all companies struggle with and strive for the same elements to make their company successful, that element is PEOPLE. During the hour long presentation about where HSC came from and is heading towards, each of Eaton's Senior Management sought out answers about keeping and finding good, qualified team members. HSC with approximately 210 team members easily has over 35% of them with no less than 5 years tenure. Scott Krueger asked what the secret was and how does HSC manage to instill the values so prevalent in Corporate to extremities as far as was Augusta Ga or Atlanta. Our President, Luis Abellon was quick to answer, "you lead by example, we're all working managers here and we have a GREAT company".

During the visit Eaton's Management was given a tour of the Distribution, it was there that the competitive nature of Bill and Scott really came to light by means of a weight scale. Apparently there is a "friendly" wager between those two. This link below may give clues as to which one is winning the bet.

Following the HSC Distribution tour we headed to our recently relocated and reset, Pompano Express Facility. There Eaton's Management was able to see first hand why we WIN in every market we ENTER.

Enjoy the slide show.
