Maximizing Profits
Building a Company From Scratch
Fiscal Responsibility – in Business and in Government

the FIGGIE PHILOSOPHY

Welcome

This website focuses on a few principles that defined Harry E. Figgie Jr.

  • U.S. manufacturing companies can compete in today’s global economy. 

  • One way they can compete is by following a few fundamental cost strategies in order to maximize profits. 

  • Large companies can still be built by scratch in this country, using the same strategy as Harry Figgie did in building a $24 million sprinkler company into a Fortune 500 multinational corporation.
  • The U.S. government should be expected to operate the nation’s finances as responsibly as corporate CEOs are expected to run their businesses.
