Here in Mt. Prospect, IL at Rauland Borg, a manufacturing company that specializes in healthcare and education productions. You will see happy faces, dedication, commitment and pride. These are just a few of the employees that contribute to setting new standards at this family owned company that has been here for more than 70 years.
Norm Kidder – President & Chief Executive Officer, Rauland Borg “The company is a life commitment by me, my family and the people who work here. It’s a commitment to who we are and what it is we do.”
Here at Rauland Borg, extremely important products are being manufactured every day.
Larry Ball – Senior Vice President, Rauland Borg “Our products are life safety products and people in schools and hospitals depend on them to work properly the first time and all the time.”
Mark Basich – Director of Manufacturing & Service, Rauland Borg “We build nurse calls systems, the one in the 
hospital beds and we can communicate wirelessly with patients and we can provide the hospital on data on nurse ability to get out to the patient on time.”
Rauland Borg employees put out the highest level of quality and part of that success comes from implementing the IBEW manufacturing Code of Excellence.
Mark Basich – Director of Manufacturing & Service, Rauland Borg “The code of excellence was brought into the facility in November of 2014, it aligned with our own philosophy of manufacturing so it fit in very well. Each employee was invited to participate in the activity and received a certificate after.”
Randy Orona – Setup Clerk, Rauland Borg “It means to me taking pride in your work, doing it the correct way, when you see something wrong you report it right away because you do not want that product to be wrong.”
Matthew Quinones – Final Assembly Technician, Rauland Borg “It is a standard of excellence, with so much competition out there you don’t want to send anything out there that isn’t up to par.”
Donald Finn – Business Manager, IBEW Local 134 “The owners and the company see what we are doing, they use that to go out and sell jobs. When they realize that we have this kind of work force and this trained and we work together as a family. It seals the deal for them to go out and sell their factory, they can seal this deal with the code of excellence.”
From the design to manufacturing the product, here at Rauland Borg you can call it “Made in the U.S.A.”
Larry Ball – Senior Vice President, Rauland Borg “We are constantly hearing about how products are made off shore, less expensive.. the fact that we can manufacture a high quality product here that is very successful in the marketplace is just a source of great pride for us.”
In today’s business, consumers have so many choices. Rauland Borg says letting customers come and see the line and meet the people who make these products is a big selling point.
Norm Kidder – President & Chief Executive Officer, Rauland Borg “When we bring in hospital groups or schools, I let them know we appreciate their time. They get to understand our products but meet the people that back them up. They buy the employees as a team as well.”
Larry Ball – Senior Vice President, Rauland Borg “That’s a bigger part of the sales process than even seeing the products. They see the pride of our workforce, the cleanliness of our facility, the level of technology and commitment that we have.”
You can’t have the Code of Excellence without good people and you can’t have good people without the IBEW.
