MPI is a great American success story. Over the past forty plus years, MPI has become the global gold standard in wax-room equipment manufacturing. It\u2019s due, in no small part, to the determination, hard work, and commitment of President and Founder Bruce Phipps\u2014and the people with whom he surrounds himself.
\nFrom the moment you enter its recently expanded world headquarters in Poughkeepsie, New York, you understand what MPI is all about. The front lobby is beautiful, well-appointed, and functional without being pretentious. The d\u00e9cor reflects the company\u2019s commitment to innovation and challenging the status quo through both quality and efficiency.<\/p>\n
But if you really want to understand what makes MPI tick, simply tour the facility with Bruce Phipps. His passion for this industry and the future he sees for it are obvious with every step he takes. At the same time, while the company\u2019s size has more than doubled over the past three years, it still maintains a family atmosphere\u2014a culture that Bruce has painstakingly nurtured over time. He knows his employees on a first-name basis, and everyone is glad that Bruce is steering the ship.<\/p>\n
As you begin your journey through the 47,500-square-foot facility, you\u2019re immediately struck by the fact that everything is bright and clean; the 20-foot ceilings give it an open, spacious feel. Instead of workers parked at their stations working in isolation, there\u2019s a buzz of collective excitement among the employees. It\u2019s obvious that this is an organization that\u2019s greatest asset is its people. While the facility is extremely impressive now, it wasn\u2019t always that way.<\/p>\n
