OUR WHY:

Making a Difference Through Serving our Fellow Craftsmen.

This is why we come to work every day. To serve those that embrace intentionality, mastery, quality in one's work and the value provided to others. Whether they are our co-workers at CI, our customers or our business partners, we are a community of craftsmen bound by our commitment to serve one another.

OUR HOWS

  • For over 125 years we’ve battled through our share of difficulties as the world transformed around us. Every obstacle honed us into better versions of ourselves, teaching us that our combined determination beats any barrier. While we honor our past, we're energized by who we're becoming—and every day we take this challenge head-on. Because CI is built with GRIT.

  • At CI, we're FAMILY—and we're talking generations of family here. That means we show up for each other, we've got each other's backs, and we work through the tough stuff together. When everybody feels like they're part of something bigger than themselves, that's when we all win. Here “we” always comes before “me.” We are in this together.

  • Our “say-do” ratio is 1. Say it. Do it. Done. To us ACCOUNTABILITY is absolute—every commitment honored, every mistake admitted, every mission completed. No excuses, no exceptions. We OWN IT.

  • The power of PRIDE lies in the combined effort of all of us at CI. We are proud of our craftmanship and the relationships we build, together.  Pride forges reputation and fuels today’s actions. It is why CI endures as the last American company standing strong amongst our competitors.

  • We always take THE HIGH GROUND. The right thing is the right thing for a reason. And it is a shared mindset at CI that isn’t aspirational, it’s operational. It’s what builds customer trust that goes way beyond the machine. Do the right thing, because it is the right thing, full stop.
