Cash flow is the lifeblood of any organization, and it’s especially critical for construction companies. Having multiple projects with so many moving parts, costs are incurred daily. Yet it takes 30 to 90 days for payments to come in to cover those costs. That makes sound banking relationships and long-term partners crucial. At CUI, we're fortunate to have a strong partnership with Triad Bank and for CUI President Steve Philipp Jr., to be part of their advisory board. Based in St. Louis and operating since 2005, Triad Bank is a locally owned, 5-Star financial institution that’s been instrumental in helping businesses like ours secure the capital needed for growth and community service. We’re incredibly grateful for the connection we’ve built with Triad Bank and its president, @Charles Wiegers. In our business, strong relationships are key to providing exceptional service to our customers. We couldn't do it without these valuable partnerships. #BusinessGrowth #CashFlow #CommunitySupport #Partnerships #Leadership

At every turn, we’re always looking for ways to improve our capabilities as a coatings contractor. One way we’re doing this is by adhering to some of our industry’s highest standards. Coatings Unlimited is a QP-1, QP-2, QP-8, and QS-1 certified contractor through AMPP, the Association for Materials Protection and Performance. AMPP is the leading authority in materials protection and performance, and it’s the standards program born out of the merger of SSPC (the Society for Protective Coatings) and NACE International (the National Association of Corrosion Engineers). By definition, a QP contractor adheres to best practices, has verified processes and procedures, and operates with the best interest of the customer in mind. It’s just another tool helping us give our customers the quality they deserve.

Safety and quality are cornerstones of delivering exceptional work for our customers. Yet, managing these crucial factors often involves extensive paperwork. To streamline these paper-intensive processes, we’ve embraced @Tru, a cutting-edge system designed specifically for the needs of industrial coatings companies like ours. Tru helps us efficiently manage jobsite documentation and ensures compliance with stringent environmental regulations. By integrating this technology, we're simplifying field operations, reducing the need for paper inspections, and enhancing overall efficiency. Our goal is to not only boost operational effectiveness but also to improve safety and the quality of our work for our valued customers. We’re excited about the impact this digital transformation will have on our team and our service. #Safety #Quality #DigitalTransformation #Efficiency #Compliance #Innovation

We’ve been on a quest to learn from the best here at CUI. Here’s another example of how we’ve been investing in our people so we can become better leaders and relationship builders. We recently tapped the leadership expertise of @Breslin Strategies, led by change management expert Mark Breslin, to enhance our leadership skills and capabilities. As Breslin Strategies puts it, construction field leaders carry significant responsibilities, but they don’t always receive the support and training they need to excel both as leaders and skilled professionals. At CUI, we’ve worked to rewrite that narrative. We're proactively investing in support and training for our field leaders and project managers to ensure they have the tools they need to succeed. We believe that strong relationships are just as critical to our success as the quality of our work. That’s why investing in our human capital is a top priority. Looking forward to the valuable insights and growth that Breslin Strategies will bring to our team! #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #ConstructionExcellence #TeamGrowth #RelationshipBuilding

At Coatings Unlimited, we understand that leadership isn't just about being good at what you do — it’s also about how you impact those around you. That’s a lesson @Andy Patron learned. He moved through the early years of his career as a leader admired by his superiors but disliked by his team because of his approach. That all changed for Andy at age 37, when a major health crisis left him in the hospital with 24 stitches and a stay in the cardiac unit. It ended up being a wake-up call that forced him to reevaluate his approach and inspired him to transform his leadership style. Today, Andy is a sought-after consultant for construction managers, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring his leadership training sessions to our team at CUI. We’re passionate about developing our field leaders and project managers through enrichment training, and experts like Andy Patron are key to helping us build stronger relationships within our organization and with our clients. Stay tuned as we continue to invest in our people and elevate our leadership capabilities! #PeoplePower #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #TeamGrowth #RelationshipBuilding
