rubber, engineered structures, indus-

both through organic growth in each
segment and strategic partnerships/
acquisitions to speed up the growth
potential.
CM:
Our five-year goal is to be
the supplier of choice within our core
products, markets, and for our end
users. To do this, we see GCP moving
from being a primarily China/North
American-centred organization to a
worldwide company. One that sources,
supplies, and delivers services, pro-
viding significant value and driving
growth for our stakeholders.
Why should a company choose
to work with GCP?
CM:
We’re always going to work
in partnership with our stakehold-
ers, trying to grow and prosper in a
mutually beneficially way within our
network. We look for customers who
share that same strategic mindset.
NP:
A key message we want to
reinforce about GCP are the points
encompassed in our brand foundation
document (see sidebar), specifically
our character and value declarations,
that is what our customers will see
when we work with them.
We work hard to deliver competi-
tively priced material that is as good
as or better than the competition. If we
can provide this, it gives our custom-
ers an opportunity to grow with the
products we supply them.
GM:
Customers will select us be-
cause they can grow their business and
profits. If they’re not growing, then
we’re not either. So in this way, both of
us are strategically aligned.
I’ve had the pleasure to be in this
business for 14 years. GCP, its custom-
ers, and Approved Suppliers™ have
all benefited from the dedication, com-
mitment, and contributions from the
talented individuals who are all valu-
able members of the GCP ecosystem.
The real strength of GCP is its
people, and this will be galvanized
as GCP transforms itself into a truly
Global Enterprise. In fact, our people,
our culture, and our commitment to
our community will become even
more crucial in the years ahead. It’s
our job to constantly improve, evolve,
and provide increasing value to those
that choose to work with us. We hope
this, along with hard work and a little
luck, will help us continue to grow
moving forward.
