The company culture at Arlington is family oriented. All employees are a part of the "family team." "Old fashioned work ethics are fundamental to Arlington's success" says John Staudinger. "We have a blend of individuals from all over the world, including a large European core. Because of our profit sharing plan, when an employee does not carry his weight, others let us know. If they do not improve, they are weeded out," he said.

The second generation of Staudingers are active in growing the business into the new millennia. Susan Blanck originally joined the company as a sales representative and has added many new customers to help the company grow its business. After working here for 20 years, she recently acquired a controlling interest in Arlington Machine and Tool Company, and now serves as President and CEO. Susan says, "The company is easy to sell because we really have the proven characteristics that everyone is looking for. Strategically, I am taking the company in the direction of Military Prime Contracting work as a Certified Woman Business Enterprise (WBE) and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)."

John J. Staudinger is currently Vice President of Operations, in charge of customer relations and production control. John Sr. is still actively involved in engineering and trouble shooting. "My objective" says John Sr. "was to build a team capable of running in my absence. We have selected the top people in the area and have developed a team that I am very proud of ... our future never looked as promising."
