Our Philosophy: A Values-based Company

Philosophy

What really drives what we do?

We are a family owned and operated business and have been since the founding in 1929. With this in mind, we have learned to service our customers and employees in the same manner that the owners would like to be treated. We view the business as one that must be challenging, fun, professionally managed, and financially prudent.

We are a values-based company. Our employees developed our values, vision and mission statements and we want them to challenge all actions and decisions if they do not live up to the spirit of our ethics. The employees of Independent Can are the most essential asset. The expressed goal of the management is to provide a challenging, dynamic, innovative, demanding and friendly work environment.

We hope that you will consider our metal cans as a part of your product and packaging needs. If we do not make the package that you need, we will either source the package that fits best for you or refer you to the best source for what you require.
