Innovation, Business Growth and Teamwork Celebrated at Event

We thought we'd share a video of remarks that Husky Corporation President Grenville Sutcliffe delivered during an event in early August at the company's headquarters and manufacturing operations, along with a news release about the event. As Mr. Sutcliffe said to the gathering of employees and guests, "When we get a chance to tell the Husky story, we want to take it."

-----------------------------------------------

Husky Corporation, with a nearly 70-year track record of growth, innovation and teamwork that has resulted in industry-leading capabilities from its Missouri-based manufacturing facilities, welcomed Missouri Senator Roy Blunt for what was billed as a ‘Meet and Greet’ event focused on job creation.

Husky Corporation President Grenville Sutcliffe, whose parents founded the petroleum dispensing equipment manufacturing company in 1947, told a crowd of 150 employees, area dignitaries and guests that he is always pleased to tell the Husky story to those interested in hearing about its track record of success.

“We believe very strongly in U.S. based manufacturing. Our quality is second to none. Just ask China – where we send a lot of our products,” Sutcliffe said. “None of this company’s success would be possible without a strong and dedicated team. It is wonderful to see everyone on the Husky team working and progressing in the same direction. That’s what we have here at Husky. A great team.”

Sutcliffe led Sen. Blunt and U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (Missouri’s Third Congressional District) on a tour of Husky Corporation production facilities. The company manufactures general fueling products, oil and lube products, aviation fueling products and fluid line components for the automotive aftermarket. Through strategic alliances and partnerships Husky Corporation also offers DEF dispensing and storage systems, logistics optimization systems and liquid loading arms. Sen. Blunt then offered some comments on job creation and regulation to those in attendance. 

“Right now 20 percent of what you do is exported. Mr. Sutcliffe wants to get that number to 50 percent. As he points out, if you have a product that competes all over the world, that drives the economy too,” Blunt said.

“Thanks to the innovation of our engineers – our product line continues to grow. That’s because we put customers first. We try to solve their problems. I wish I could say the same about all the regulations we have to deal with, that frankly get in the way of innovation,” Sutcliffe said.

Sutcliffe noted, since Sen. Blunt was in a political campaign at the time of his visit, that Husky would gladly extend the same opportunity to visit the company to those on the other side of the political aisle.
