Bertch’s Way of Life

Our Company Culture

Established in the heart of the Midwest in 1977, our mission statement has always remained the same, “Our future success will depend on an ever-increasing focus on quality, our customers and the environment.”

Our mission statement is evident throughout all the Bertch manufacturing facilities and offices. The unique character of both our dealers and associates is an immense passion for quality. In fact, our founder, Gary Bertch once stated, “Although this seems to be just a drawer box, each one needs to be the best drawer box you can build.”

Bertch’s caring, family-oriented atmosphere has spured company-wide incentives such as trips for all associates (and their spouses) to beautiful destinations (like Cancun and Hawaii) when specific goals have been met.

As a fully integrated manufacturer, producing all our own parts, associates are actively engaged in product and procedure reviews. They constantly interject ideas for improving efficiency. On-site tours clearly exhibit a culture of caring about customers and the products produced, along with a strong reflection of Midwestern work ethic.

The corporate commitment to quality extends beyond our facilities. Bertch partners with surrounding school communities to promote and educate future generations in reforestation, recycling, and general respect for the environment.

Community & Charity Involvement

Strengthening our Communities

Our involvement in the organizations and nonprofits we support helps to revitalize and strengthen communities for long-term success as well as our own. At Bertch, we have always encouraged our team to pursue local community or charitable causes that are important to them, and even offer a matching gifts program to all associates.
