I want kids to know that businesses like Minco have their back.” “I remember growing up playing sports in Conroe and the community having my back. We’re hoping these kids take what they learn and apply it to the rest of their life,” said J.B. Track and field is as good as any we’ve seen. “We believe a path through sports is a path to success if you take the benefits of the disciplines behind it. Minco’s investment in this program stems from a desire to help kids learn life skills through track and field and to give them an opportunity to be fulfilled by community. Minco sponsors the City of Conroe’s youth track and field program for girls and boys ages 8 to 18. We want to continue with that type of attitude,” offered Jim. We love being able to pay back what all these mentors have given me. It was helpful to know the pillars of the community so I could better support them. “When I first started this business, I got introduced to all the right people in town. The company believes in giving back its time and resources, just as the Conroe community did for Minco when it arrived here. Speaking of community, Minco has become a fabric of the Conroe community since its inception. We try to make every decision with a long-term focus, as best we can. “It’s critical for this community that our business doesn’t make short-term decisions and start laying off top notch people when the clouds get dark around us. We’re committed to building stability for them in good times and in bad,” offered J.B. “We create a family culture here, and that’s why people like to stay. Building a culture that values family and steadiness has allowed Minco to develop the level of expertise that comes with employee longevity. It really is the people that matter to Minco. “When you combine good processes with good people, you produce good results.” We’ve continued to challenge them to cross train and learn new skills to go to where the business needs to be,” added J.B.
Experts like Plant Manager Wayne Gentles and Controller Carol Backhus, who have been with Minco for more than 40 years and 30 years respectively, embrace modern technology and apply industry expertise to improve product offerings. While technology has advanced over Minco’s lifespan, the company has adapted well. When you can do that, you create a lot of expertise on the shop floor and a lot of subject matter experts in various things that we do with our processes,” said J.B. “We have been very fortunate that the majority of the people we’ve brought in to the business have been here for over 15 or 20 years. The company employs 22 people, several of whom have been with Minco for decades. Jim and his son J.B., who is Minco’s Vice President of Business Development, credit the expertise and loyalty of the Minco team for the company’s longstanding success.
