Reliance Investment Group has an ongoing commitment to acquiring companies in a variety of working industries. While continuing to operate independently, our companies are able to take advantage of our 30 years of experience across numerous markets in order to better compete in today’s global markets. Our commitment to Financial Stability, Decentralized Control and Accountability, Lean Production and Best Management Practices has also allowed our companies to stay focused on other critical tasks required to achieve continued profitable growth and an improved customer experience.

CORE OPERATING PRINCIPLES 1. Financial Stability: Re-capitalization of any newly acquired company is often an essential element in creating a more stable platform and provides greater operational flexibility, thereby enabling each company to compete more effectively in the modern global economy. 2. Best Business Practices: Our commitment to decentralized management and bottom-line control results in key executives meeting regularly to manage joint sales and marketing efforts and establish proven, best practices throughout our companies as we continuously seek for better and more efficient ways to satisfy our customers. 3. Lean Business Practices: Our companies are committed to introducing Lean techniques into every aspect of every company’s operations in order to improve quality and increase employee productivity. Lean has become the cornerstone of our business strategy that not only provides our employees with the necessary tools and techniques to deliver outstanding service, but the ability to remain competitive through a companywide commitment to continuous improvement. 4.

Our strategic and long-term approach to reinvestment and rewarding outstanding performance provides our management teams with the necessary tools and resources to accomplish our corporate mandate of profitable growth. 5. Accountability and Control: Each company we acquire is a fully functional, independent company with bottom-line accountability and control.
