Understanding the circular economy and reducing/recycling waste is positive for the environment and economic efficiency. Working with our valued suppliers, customers, and each Polydeck team member provides the catalyst for further resource improvement and waste reduction.

Creating a stronger community

Polydeck contributes to the welfare of society through providing employee development, coaching and leadership training. We believe that training empowers our employees to make critical on-the-job decisions and create a safe, and productive work environment. In 2022, we spent 4669 hours training 417 people in the US and Latin America that resulted in several internal promotions.

We actively pursue social justice through mission trips and serving those who are vulnerable in partnership with our local community and the communities of those we do business with. With over 1450 hours in community service in 2022, we were able to safely support our communities.

Achieving safety excellence requires commitment and focus from all parties. At the center of our safety culture is our “Why”- the desire for everyone to return home to their loved ones, for healthy and fulfilling lives, and the ability to use our gifts and talents for good. For the second year in a row, we achieved world class safety by recording 0 hours lost time due to injury and received South Carolina’s 2020 Safety Award for workplace safety.

Creating a stronger tomorrow

As we lead the way with producing high-quality, long-lasting products through material science technology, our departments have worked together to incorporate more sustainable practices in all departments for increased productivity.

By making these incremental adjustments across all teams, we have improved efficiency along our value streams to meet business and continuous improvement targets. Together, our team have worked together to attain the highest efficiency gains – over 9% - in 5 years.

Through supplier partnerships, evaluating and increasing strategic inventory positions, and utilizing market intelligence from our sales team, we are effective in positioning our operation for growth while serving the needs of our valued customers and partners. This in turn has allowed customers to reduce their on-site inventories and continually benefit from the best lead times in the industry.

Polydeck leverages our position in the industry as the leading provider of screen media by having zero debt. As part of the Freissle Business standards, we believe that this practice is necessary to honor those we do business with and enables us to care for people in a way that honors God.
