Vita Needle is hiring and looking for a professional Customer Service Manufacturing Account Representatives!
Our company has a great strategy, a committed team and excellent stability. Vita Needle continues to grow at a measured pace, continuing a trend started over 20 years ago. Owned and operated by the 4th and 5th generations of the family that started the business in 1932, we are proud of our heritage as American manufacturers of tubular products and are even more enthusiastic about the products we build today for medical & industrial applications. We relish the competitive opportunities in front of us and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where attention to product details are critical. Our metrics for growth are several---besides revenue we seek a balanced working environment, improved product quality, improved on time deliveries and innovation/process improvement.
Many companies pay lip service to family values whereas we follow through. We're humble and not big on titles. We check our egos at the door and look for the best solution to problems---which sometimes comes from the newest hire. We ask ourselves "What can we learn from this?" or "How can we use this situation in a positive way?" when things don't go as planned, so we are better next time. At Vita, positive energy, a deep willingness to work hard on opportunities and an unwillingness to simply tolerate problems are core values. Do you share these values too?
