A. We call our growth strategy Focused Diversity. By providing customer-driven, engineered solutions to our diverse family of businesses, we will strengthen and grow those businesses that leverage our core competencies.
Q. What does Standex mean by Focused Diversity?
A. Focused diversity means that while diversity will continue to be the hallmark at Standex, providing customer-driven, engineered solutions will increasingly become the common denominator of our family of businesses. Focused diversity means that we will explore the interrelationships among our businesses and that we add businesses to our portfolio that will deliver clearly defined synergies to our current portfolio.
Diversity can pose challenges at times. Today, some of our businesses align more closely with our core competencies and are more successful in complementing the others with respect to products, processes and distribution channels. Some perform better than others at different points in the economic cycle. While our presence in multiple sectors has helped us manage business and financial risk, the tradeoff is fully realizing the potential of all businesses.
