Management Philosophy

At AJ Adhesives we firmly believe that developing a management philosophy is vital for a company to thrive. We have adopted the Gazelles 22 Program philosophy which simply states “He who learns the fastest wins.”

Not only have we adopted this company philosophy, but we have structured our corporate identity around it. Modern society is an ever changing entity that requires those wanting success to continuously seek information and ask questions in order to grow their knowledge base. At AJ we are persistent in maintaining that ideal.

Our entire staff consistently participates in off-campus learning sessions and business forums promoting the Gazelle Management Philosophy. Doing so allows AJ to strive for change, not purely for the sake of change, but to better ourselves as a company to keep ground on the ever changing entity of society.
