Together or Alone?
Dan Livengood, CAS, ATMS-S, senior sales manager, eastern region for Newton Manufacturing, named product safety and compliance one of the key benefits of affiliating with Newton. "We led the way in this ever-important initiative and continue to encourage accountability from all sides of the marketplace," he said. "We seek to conduct business with partners who share our values and require all our supplier partners to sign an industry code of conduct. This effort provides layers of protection between the customer and the manufacturer by ensuring products have been properly tested with certification to verify," he explained. "We also require our suppliers to provide proof they are properly insured, and that they are as committed as we are in conducting business ethically and in full compliance with state and federal laws, as well as those importing from other countries. This also includes no child labor, abuse of labor, or discrimination, etc. We've had people align with us from this advantage alone."
