Today
Our Philosophy
More than eight decades ago, Sam Goldstein founded the company that would become the SPS Companies based on a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit. His son, Jack Goldstein, continued the legacy, growing the company by focusing on trust, relationships, and fairness. Often, business deals were sealed with little more than a handshake.
The SPS Companies continue to grow because we hold to the philosophy of building “relationships” as practiced by our founders. We do not have suppliers, customers, or employees—we have true partners.
Our Mission
The mission of the SPS Companies is to Consistently Exceed our Customers’ expectations in everything we do.
Through our constant focus on service to our customers, SPS is dedicated to continuous improvement initiatives, product excellence and diversification. Each of the members of the SPS Companies live and breathe our mission, demonstrated by the relationships we build and in every transaction.
Company Culture
Each of the SPS Companies is comprised of a team of managers and employees who are committed to excellence – in safety, performance and customer care.
In a very real sense, SPS is a large family that encourages personal success while rewarding initiative and productivity that produces strong relationships with those who purchase from us, our vendor partners and fellow employees.
Our Values
SPS Community Impact
Improving the quality of life in the communities in which we operate, and for our employees, is a high priority for SPS. Since its founding, the company’s management has recognized that a critical aspect of our company’s success was the health of the communities in which our employees work.
Jack Goldstein, our founder, ensured he would leave this legacy of community strength when he formed several charitable foundations to help provide the much needed support. These foundations, along with the direct support of SPS and its hundreds of employees, have given millions of dollars to our communities.
We have supported youth programs, health, education, arts and culture, social services and the overall welfare of our communities. In addition, SPS also offers scholarship opportunities for its employees’ children to assist with the cost of education.
Our support is also demonstrated by encouraging our employees to be actively involved in their communities. Service not only positively impacts the community, it also helps our employees develop both personally and professionally.
