The company’s market-leading brands are recognized for quality and innovation. Standex Strategy Standex’s business strategy centers on operating fewer, more profitable business units. Since 2000, Standex has leveraged its expertise in acquiring companies and divesting non-core businesses to implement a broad portfolio restructuring. The company divested eight businesses and 20 properties totalling approximately $366 million of 2000 revenue for gross proceeds of $125 million. At the same time, Standex employed the cash generated from divestitures to add 18 businesses through bolt-on strategic acquisitions that today contribute approximately $274 million in annual sales. Operational Excellence Standex is focused on generating strong operating leverage through a strict adherence to operational excellence across the organization. The company’s efforts include implementing continuous improvement initiatives to reduce costs and working capital; using Lean enterprise as a key implementation tool; leveraging operational synergies across and within business groups; and migrating manufacturing to lower-cost locations globally. Organic Growth Standex’s organic growth initiatives have been contributing positively to sales, and the company expects this success to continue to build. These organic growth initiatives include new customer programs and innovative new products as a result of the collaborative relationship between Standex and its customers. Standex also is growing sales organically by broadening its presence geographically in each business segment and by entering adjacent markets and cross selling within segments. ©Copyright 1998-2013 Standex International Corporation.
