Presidents Message Q1 2012

Tim Hayes
President / CEO

It’s important at this time of year as we reflect on the past and look to the future to renew our commitments. Cambric continues to focus on the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profits. I believe that all three of these can be helped simultaneously and to great effect.

We are engaged in a business that is very much about people – from our employees and their families, to our customers, to the end users of products that Cambric helps to create. It gives me great satisfaction to reflect upon the important individual contributions that Cambric people all over the world are making. Our corporate values guide us forward together as a company in ways that provide clear direction and real benefits to our stakeholders. We are making the employee and customer experience better by investing in communication, systems, and training. We are improving the lives of those in the communities in which we live through programs such as the Bridge of Love and the American Red Cross. We are proud of the economic development and elevated way of life that our business promotes for people both domestically and abroad.

During the holiday season we have shown a token of our commitment to the planet by giving the gift of a tree planted in a National Forest on behalf of those to whom Cambric holiday cards were sent. Well over 500 trees will be planted as a result. In our business practice Cambric has worked to reduce our ecological footprint by, amongst other things, locating our offices to central locations and subsidizing the use of public transit for our employees. In addition to reducing Cambric’s own environmental impact, it is satisfying to know that we are designing optimized product for our customers that take up less natural resource to manufacture. Also, as we help our customers to develop and integrate engines that produce substantially less noxious gases and particulate matter we feel that Cambric is having an extremely positive and far reaching impact on sustainability.

Cambric has a clear mission to build revenue and create profits for all of our stakeholders. In these economically challenging times it takes businesses such as Cambric and the people employed by such businesses to drive social, ecological, and economic prosperity through innovation, responsibility, and hard work. Cambric is committed to creating real value in all three aspects of the triple bottom line. We wish you prosperity and continued success as we move ahead resolutely into 2012.

Regards,
Timothy P. Hayes
