expertise, product knowledge, appearance, conduct,
conversation and results.

wish to be treated, listening and responding to their
needs while providing prompt responses to requests
and 100% on-time delivery.
EXPERTISE RESOURCE – We will always be perceived
by our clients as an expert resource in the cutting tool,
fluids and other industrial machining needs. We are
the opposite of a catalog house; we are an extension of
their team as product application and process experts.

improve our process, products and policies to meet
the ever-changing needs of our clients. Our clients will
look to us as a resource to keep them informed of new

creativity and teamwork to promote an open and
collaborative work environment that encourages
employees to excel in every aspect of their job.

be accountable for our actions. We will treat our fellow
team members with respect and in a way that we
would in turn want to be treated.
GIVING BACK – Contribute to our community and/or
employees in need through the donations of resources
(financial or time).
WORK ENVIRONMENT – Foster an enjoyable and
rewarding team environment for our employees.
• Do your machinists spend time searching for
misplaced or missing tools?
• Do you pay expediting fees for tool delivery?
• Do missing tools sometimes hide in machinists’
toolboxes?
• Do forgotten and obsolete tools remain in your
inventory with no benefit to you?
The above questions—especially if you answered “YES” to any of them—
reveal the unneccessary expenses, headaches and late deliveries that can
have a drastic effect on your company’s bottom line.
Nearly 50% of Creston’s daily business involves our inventory
management technologies. “Friction-Free Commerce” for your tools
comes from implementing Creston’s inventory management systems.
