At Midwest Metal Products there is no simple answer to the question “What do we do?” From a business standpoint, we’re a foundry that produces castings. While this is accurate, it only scratches the surface of what MMP is all about. We offer much more than raw castings; we collaborate closely with our suppliers to provide finish-machined, painted, and sometimes assembled parts. Our collective expertise allows us to tackle a wide range of challenges.
Understanding who we are at MMP is crucial to defining our culture and setting realistic goals for our future. Our culture shapes the way we interact with each other, our clients, suppliers, and the community. As part of our strategic planning, we identified six key characteristics that define our culture and what they look like in action at MMP:
- Respectful:
We value each other’s time and talents, fostering empathy, honesty, integrity, and transparency. Our guiding principle is simple: “Treat others how they want to be treated.” - All in This Together:
We collaborate with suppliers, clients, and teammates to achieve and exceed our goals. No one person or task is more important than the team. Together, we are stronger. - Learn & Be Curious:
We are committed to continuous improvement and innovation. We embrace questions, experiment with new ideas, and learn from both our mistakes and successes. After all, knowledge is power. - Open-Minded:
We welcome feedback and engage in constructive discussions to explore diverse perspectives. By valuing individual differences, we broaden our vision and find the best solutions. - Good People with a Small-Town Atmosphere:
We cultivate a warm and friendly environment for employees, clients, and suppliers alike. Our reliability and trustworthiness create a community where “Good people bring out the good in others.” - Lead by Example:
We recognize our strengths and contributions, striving to do our best every day. Our actions reflect our commitment to our shared values—“Be real.”
At MMP, our culture is the foundation of our success and the key to our future.
