Finding a novel approach through an adaptable mindset and a neutral perspective.
This pursuit has never been more important than in our world today, where we never know what change is in store for us next. In our line of work, this means continuing to optimize our business regardless of how the world around us changes.
We at HEXEL Works take a careful look at the constantly changing era we live in and search earnestly for gaps that need to be filled. Then, through agile footwork, we fluidly shape our approach to fill those gaps though this may even mean abandoning our established way of doing things. We are able to achieve even such dramatic changes through the “ever-evolving DNA” that is fundamental to us.
Since our founding in 1949, HEXEL Works has not held to a fixed corporate philosophy, but has always continued to adapt and evolve. Even our core business has changed dramatically, from our beginnings in governmental office construction, to our current dual pillars of high-rise and large apartment building and US military facilities construction.
Look at our apartment construction business, for example. Unlike the construction of large office buildings or public halls, which is like creating a piece of art, apartment construction is volume-based, and allows for less creative expression. As a result, it is an industry many companies do not want to work in. HEXEL Works, however, saw this underserved market and leapt at the opportunity, developing apartment construction into one of our core businesses. US military work also has plenty of challenges with its use of English specification sheets, US-centric standards, and strict military regulations. Here too, HEXEL Works took the initiative and built a corporate structure that no other company could compete with: establishing a procurement office for materials in the US, developing its own flow of operations, and fundamentally reinventing its approach to construction. Using this unique experience and know-how, HEXEL Works takes aim at the unexplored areas of electrical construction, and pushes itself to evolve even more rapidly.
We pass our “Ever-Evolving DNA” to each and every one of our employees. Indeed, this is the sole corporate philosophy that we will always uphold, and the means by which we will continue to observe and adapt to the changing era, and take on new challenges. Finally, we are committed to building an approach that will continue to exceed the expectations of you, our valued business partners.
