Dear visitor,
Despite advice from trusted team members, I decided to put a picture of myself
on a forklift in this section. Their well intentioned concern was whether
we are projecting the correct image.
You are undoubtedly used to seeing pictures
of well manicured CEO’s in expensive suits with carefully arranged backgrounds
grace these sections of websites despite the fact we all really know they don’t
look this way all the time.
Someone hastily snapped this picture while I was helping out in the warehouse one day.
The more I looked at this picture, I began to feel it really embodies the culture and
attitude here at Gruber.
We all pitch in and get the job done, regardless of rank, position, or tenure, to give you,
our customers, the exceptional service you have become accustomed to.
Fortunately, we have not forgotten we all work for our customers and it shows in everything we do.
We strive hard every day to make or find you the best products available in this global marketplace,
and provide them to you at modest markups to help you be as competitive as possible.
Why do we operate this way? Beside the fact we like you, we have some selfish reasons as well.
We know that your success means our success. Together, in partnership, we can all prosper and thrive
in a market exploding with opportunity.
We welcome all business, no matter how small or large. Having been small once ourselves,
we are eternally grateful to the vendors who treated us like a “large” customer both in service and pricing
to help us prosper and grow into the wonderful company we have become.
On a side note, you have probably gathered by now this is an innovative company not afraid to break the rules
of convention. I have a story to tell you....
Many people are curious as to why we put a candy inside every product we ship.
The answer is simple...we know you like it.
The idea originated years ago while enjoying a meal under a tree during one of our traditional
Phoenix sunny afternoons. Besides the great atmosphere, I pondered what it was that compelled me to drive
to this quaint sandwich shop every day.
As I finished my Brie on French, I realized I looked forward to the candy treat at the bottom of each bag.
I also felt the people cared about me enough to go the extra expense and time to make me feel welcome.
Every time you receive product from us, let our candy treat remind you we feel you are special and
we appreciate you.
We all truly value your business past present and future!
Sincerely,
Pete Gruber
CEO,
Gruber Industries
Incorporated
