(NIST: Gaithersburg, MD) -- Small and medium-sized manufacturers know that employees are their most important asset. Without their commitment, no company can succeed. Mayville Engineering Company (MEC) recognizes this.

According to MEC’s executive vice president of fabrication operations, David Higgs, “What embodies MEC most is our mission statement. It’s pride, personal responsibility, and daily excellence. Our biggest strength is our people.” At this employee-owned company, the workforce is engaged because the solutions that drive the company’s success benefit them as well.

Just watch this new video in the Heroes of American Manufacturing series features MEC—a metal fabricator originating in Mayville, Wisconsin, with a facility in Heber Springs, Arkansas—that supports the commercial vehicle, construction, power sports, agriculture, military, and other markets. MEC demonstrates how a company that helps its employees succeed also helps the community succeed. In fact, it’s brought 70 new jobs to this small Arkansas town.
