Steel Partners Holdings Releases Annual Letter from Executive Chairman Warren Lichtenstein
"We have executed on our business simplification plan, and we are moving forward as one company, which operates on a decentralized basis, but shares corporate resources," said Lichtenstein. "During the past year, we continued our commitment to developing our people at all levels of the organization through our SteelGrow talent program, and in 2019, we will be reviewing a Competitive Improvement Plan (CIP) to see how we can gain further efficiencies. Since we have acquired and now operate many entities around the globe, our goal is to ensure that we have higher utilization at every facility and invest in new or consolidated facilities to support our customers and our continued growth. We are continuing to find new ways to use artificial intelligence for improving operational excellence, and we are finding new ways to use the technology to drive customer satisfaction and recruit future talent."
