About Us
Diversity At PSMI
As a certified minority business enterprise (MBE), our global team at PSMI knows first-hand the importance, value and benefits of diverse perspectives when working to achieve our goals. We live these values and practice these principles every day. The dynamic global view, insights, perspectives and the diversity of our employees, leadership team and suppliers create a unique competitive advantage for PSMI.
Year after year, PSMI outperforms the industry goal of 8% spend with MBEs. In 2016, PSMI achieved 13.2% spend with MBEs. Our approach is simple and effective – we treat all of our suppliers as business partners. This approach means that we are in this together. We succeed together … or we fail together. At PSMI, we like challenges, but we do not like to fail. We expect to win.
PSMI’s major manufacturing customers have recognized and rewarded our ability to maintain excellence in our portion of the supply chain. Our customers have come to depend on our ability to deliver great results and wins while mentoring diverse business partners along the way.
PSMI president Jay Mullick states,
Diversity, excellence and exceeding expectations are at the heart of the PSMI success story. I was extremely fortunate to be mentored by the late Dilip Mullick – a giant in the manufacturing sector. It is important to me personally to continue his legacy of cultivating, mentoring, guiding, coaching and leading employees and suppliers to success in manufacturing. It gives me immense satisfaction to see PSMI employees and suppliers grow into experts and leaders in their fields while making valuable contributions to their loved ones, communities and society as a whole. We are all connected in one way or another. Connecting in the way that Dilip did throughout his career and lifetime will ensure a more positive and fulfilling future for all of us.
