What is a Market Leader?
At Alexandria Industries, “market leader” means two different things.
- Our market leaders have expertise in particular industries. They are also knowledgeable about manufacturing processes and capabilities. What is unique about our market leaders, however, is that these individuals are fulfilling a sales role.
- A market leader is also a company that succeeds in selling products or services, and uses its strength to lead customers in the direction the market is heading.
While both types of market leaders are equally important at Alexandria Industries, we want to share information about the market leaders on our sales team, as well as the value they bring to you, our customers.
As a manufacturer of aluminum extrusions and machined, fabricated, welded metal, and plastic-injection molded components, we naturally seek best practices in everything we do. We constantly look for areas where we can excel.
Through our 50-plus years of producing components, we have found certain markets to be a perfect match for our services. Though many markets benefit from the engineered products we make for our customers, certain markets allow for additional advantages due to the type of manufacturing services they need. This is where our market leaders can bring you even greater value.
We created our first market leader role in 1982 for the computer disk drive market. We have refined this role over the years while discovering innovative production development solutions. Today, our skilled and knowledgeable market leaders specialize in solar, LED, medical, automotive, marine, and firearms/defense.
