“No. 1, we’re as strong as ever,” Joffe says. “We continue to be extremely committed to our industry and making sure that our products are the finest in the industry.”
MPA’s publicly stated mission is to be “the global leader for parts and solutions that move our world today and tomorrow.”
“We intend to be a great and respected supplier for all of our customers for many years to come,” Joffe adds. “We have industry-leading fill rates on our products and industry-leading quality and warranty levels, and industry-leading pricing on these programs.
“We’re here, and we’re committed to continuous improvement. That’s what we live by. So, for all of our products, even though they are excellent, they are going to get better. And, even if you didn’t think that’s possible, it’ll still get better.”
Joffe became chairman of MPA in 2000 and CEO in 2003. In his time at the company – which dates to the 1990s as a consultant – he has developed a deep appreciation for the people of MPA, many of whom have worked there for decades.
Says Joffe: “The most valuable item we have on the balance sheet is the passion and productivity of our employees and the phenomenal team that we have.”
