O
n any given week at AriensCo, at least one employee is celebrated for
reaching a milestone anniversary of 25, 30, 40 or even 50 years with
the company. Many have held numerous positions over their careers.
"Because we are a family-owned company, we can make day-to-day decisions that
are focused on our long-term growth," says Dan Ariens, company chairman and CEO.
For employees starting their careers, AriensCo offers on-the-job learning
opportunities including apprenticeships, job shadowing and internships in
engineering, safety, Lean manufacturing and manufacturing leadership.
AriensCo has been building commercial and residential outdoor power equipment for
nearly 90 years. The company sells a variety of products including snow blowers, residential
and professional zero-turn mowers, utility
vehicles and mini-skid steers. Those
products start out as raw steel delivered
to two facilities in Brillion. Employees
take the steel through many processes
including stamping, laser-cutting,
welding, painting, assembly and testing
before they ship out as finished product.
"There are many opportunities
for people who like the idea of
creating something tangible out of nothing," Ariens says. "The one thing that all
manufacturing employees have in common is that they like to solve problems."
When problems do come up, five "Core Values" set the tone for decision-making:
Be Honest, Be Fair, Keep Our Commitments, Respect the Individual and Encourage
Intellectual Curiosity.
AriensCo continues to grow through expanded product lines, new manufacturing
and distribution facilities, and investments in technology.
Employees who join the AriensCo team
can impact the business in a fast-paced,
high-energy environment. And with
incentives like product discounts, on-site
healthcare, daycare discounts and
competitive wages, the AriensCo family
of employees continues to grow.
