Over the years I have seen many changes at K & R, but I have also observed that while there have been changes in ownership, the foundational business ethics have stayed consistent.  These ethics include: dealing with customers and suppliers with honesty and respect, providing equal opportunity to employees and rewarding positive performance, providing a pay and benefit program that protects employees while maintaining a competitive position in our industry. K & R has been, and I expect will remain, one of the premier companies to work for.
