People are key to success
No company can survive even five years, let alone 75, without topnotch employees. That's been one of the strengths of RMS throughout its history. In fact, having quality people is every bit as important as having quality products, according to Mike Sill II.
"This business is all about taking care of your customers and our employees have done that very well, from 1926 right up through today," he said. "We have 225 employees and they essentially are RMS. Our philosophy is to hire the best people, then let them do their jobs."
It's a philosophy that's worked well for RMS in attracting and retaining
top people. Chief Financial Officer Bill Holte; Vice President of Northern
Operations John Ruud; Vice President of Sales Dave Johnson; Ray Warmka,
General Manager Polar Parts; and Rich Cooper, Director of Training and
Technical Support, all have more than 20 years of service with the company.
Chuck Petter, Vice President, MIS, has been with RMS for more than 35
years.
