The University of Tampa Business Network Symposium is held three times per year during the months of October, January and April. On October 9th, Anchor Glass Container Corporation CEO, Nipesh Shah, had the chance to tell the Tampa Bay business community about Anchor Glass, as well as their guiding principles.
Anchor Glass is a designer, manufacturer and supplier of glass containers for beer, food, beverages and liquor. Their expert team helps businesses meet their customer needs by crafting custom container solutions, as well as utilizing stock designs. With a customer-centric approach, the team at Anchor Glass prides themselves on the details, providing the best product to their customers while allowing them to leverage their assets nationwide.
Shah discussed the company’s journey and what has made Anchor Glass what it is today. Their vision is to create value for all involved. This goes for their customers and employees as well as the public. It starts with their glass. Anchor’s glass is made up of all-natural products, free of harmful chemicals often found in materials such as aluminum and plastic. Aside from the actual product, the company is anchored by their core values.
Through ownership and accountability, Anchor Glass creates an internal dialogue to challenge the status quo and ensure everyone involved is on the same page about how the business moves forward. This allows for constant improvement within the company and keeps their customers happy, time and time again. This would not be possible without the teamwork that is exhibited throughout the organization. Employees treat one another with dignity and respect, allowing the easy flow of ideas. Additionally, integrity is at the center of what they do, and they take pride in doing what’s right, even when no one is looking.
As Shah discussed his team as it relates to the company’s core values, he stated, “No matter who you go to on my team, I can feel confident knowing that they will provide the best service and information to our clients, and they will always deliver on what they promise”.
Anchor Glass is helping businesses deliver their products to shelves with the best product and customer service. For more information, visit their website here.
