CIRCOR International - Chairman's Message

Chairman's Message

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to CIRCOR International. We provide a wide range of highly engineered products and subsystems to growing aerospace, energy and industrial end markets around the world. Our team of talented employees is dedicated to doing an outstanding job for each and every Circor customer.

Our objective is to double Circor’s size over the next three to five years by growing our business both organically and through acquisitions. With a high-performance operational model and strong balance sheet, we have the resources to drive this rapid growth by investing in new product development, acquiring complementary businesses or technologies and enhancing our global supply chain capabilities.

The Circor Business System is a key differentiator for us and the engine that powers our efforts to transform the company and create value. It is a unique management approach that combines lean operations, global talent, supply chain and customer relationship development, and product innovation to drive growth.

In addition to leveraging the Circor Business System, we are capturing market share through better product performance and faster lead times. Coupled with the increasing use of low-cost sourcing and manufacturing, these efforts should yield a sustainable competitive advantage and improved financial results for the long-term.

I invite you to visit our website often to keep apprised of our progress.

Sincerely,

William Higgins

A. William Higgins
Chairman, President & CEO
