Looking to the future ahead, Ashcroft is well-positioned for many more decades of innovation, prosperity, and growth. Building further upon its successes of 2025, the organization continues to be defined as a company of excellence, with a rich legacy of quality, dynamism, and strategic development, as it moves into its next chapter in 2026.
“ One of our key governance strategies, fully implemented in 2025, is conducting structured quarterly reviews with our suppliers. In 2026, we plan to further elevate this approach by deepening collaboration and accountability across our supplier network. These reviews enable transparent, data-driven conversations focused on continuous improvements such as on-time delivery performance, quality and defect trends, critical part risk, and the establishment of dual-sourcing where appropriate. By strengthening supplier partnerships in this way, we are reinforcing responsible sourcing practices, operational resilience, and long-term value creation,” Arlene emphasizes, optimistic for the rest of the year ahead. scw-mag. com 95
