Vekta Automation | 7 production, increase their safety, and grow as businesses. In addition, Vekta’s technical support for clients is second to none. Unlike other companies, they offer customers access to the engineers who actually designed the machinery – not just service personnel. “In terms of our equipment, the fact we are a small company and family owned is also very attractive to our customers,” adds Ed. “We can cater to the needs of their business, if there’s a unique requirement like extending a beam here or shortening it there, we’ll do that where our competitors won’t, because their product is locked in.” “There’s none of that attitude here,” Ed says. “We want to work with our customers and ensure that they get what they want, and that’s what gives us the edge.” Another aspect of their business that sets Vekta apart from other automation providers is their corporate culture, Ed explains. “The work environment here at our factory is fairly important to us. We spend a lot of our time and a lot of our money making sure that our employees feel that they’re part of the team, and I think that’s something that a lot of other companies don’t do.” “We believe in an open-doors policy,” he continues. “We like everything to be transparent. We have our weekly meetings with everybody, going right down to the laborers on the floor. We’re very open – we share everything that’s going on financially with the company, what we’re planning on doing in the future, what our reasons are for doing so, et cetera. We encourage everyone to give their input their opinions and suggestions regularly.”
