Our Vision
Great Dane Powder Coating and E-coating strives to create a culture where discipline, accountability, and continuous improvement drive long-term success — where safety is non-negotiable, efficiency drives decision making, and every person is fully engaged, empowered to grow, and committed to doing the job right the first time. We approach every part, and every process, with ownership and purpose — we do not just coat parts. We build relationships with responsiveness, quality, and dedication. Our customers do not just trust us with their work, they trust us with their reputation.
Our Core Values
WHAT WE STAND FOR, EVERY DAY, ON EVERY JOB
Safety First, Every Time
No deadline, no rush job, and no customer expectation is worth compromising the safety of our people. We follow the process, respect the equipment, and look out for the people working next to us. Everyone on this floor goes home the same way they came in.
Full Engagement
We approach each day with focus, purpose, and accountability. By being fully engaged in our work, we make better decisions, communicate effectively, and contribute to the success of our team, our customers, and our company.
Quality Built Upfront
We take ownership of our commitments and hold ourselves accountable for delivering on our promises. We communicate openly, act with integrity, and follow through for our customers and teammates.
Trusted Partnership
Our customers do not just trust us with their work—they trust us with their reputation. We protect that trust on every part, every shipment, and every interaction.
Communication
We speak up early, share information openly, and never let silence create a problem that a conversation could have solved. Strong communication is what keeps our team aligned and our customers confident.
Continuous Improvement
We look for smarter ways to work, eliminate waste in our processes, and move with urgency—but never at the cost of quality or safety. When a customer needs change, equipment goes down, or a better way presents itself, we adjust without losing our standard. Efficiency and adaptability are strengths we build into everything we do.
How Do These Values Reach Your Parts?
Values only count if they change what leaves the building. At Great Dane, they do.
Quality isn’t just an inspection at the end of the line—it’s built into every step of our process. Our team focuses on identifying root causes, eliminating repeat issues, and continuously improving how we coat, handle, and deliver our customers’ products.
That commitment has helped us reduce our rework rate from approximately 3% to under 1%.
Our quality system is supported by Six Sigma principles and ISO 9000-based practices across both coating lines, giving our customers confidence that their products are being processed with consistency, accountability, and attention to detail.
The goal is simple: get it right the first time—and make every job better than the last.
