Sioux Chief Hosts Plant
Tour for ASA Young Executives.
 Rough plumbing manufacturing plant tour gives ASA wholesaler and
contractor executives an opportunity to understand Sioux Chief
product and process designs for time, labor, and money savings in
industry business practices.
Rough plumbing manufacturer, Sioux Chief, last week hosted the
American Supply Association (ASA) Young Executives to its
manufacturing plant tour. The American manufacturer hosts numerous
in-depth spring and summer tours as an opportunity to share
significant “value added” information with plumbing wholesaler and
contractor business owners and managers whose success relies, in
part, on new innovative product designs that yield measurable
savings in time, labor, and money.
Nearly 60 plumbing wholesaler and contractor executives attended the
guided plant tour, enabling them to experience first hand, the
manufacturing capabilities and innovative processes that produce
many of the products their businesses sell and install.
Sioux Chief CEO, Joe Ismert, says the value to the visiting customer
is tangible because it provides a window to Sioux Chief’s innovative
philosophy, methods, and designs.
“The plant tour enables customers to realize how they can positively
affect their businesses with time, labor, and money savings by
raising their level of awareness of Sioux Chief products which often
causes them to adjust how and why they use Sioux Chief products,”
says Ismert.

“Thousands of
customers have visited the Sioux Chief campus for tours over the
years. Very commonly they say ‘we had no idea you made all of
this.’”
Ismert says that in a market known for buying and selling
instead of manufacturing, visitors are stunned to learn that one
company could invent and manufacture so many products, enough to
fill hundreds of catalog pages, in a single factory.
“The tour highlighted the broad depth of inventory Sioux Chief
actually makes at its own facility,” said ASA member, Luke
Wiedeman of Reeves-Wiedeman Company. “Amazing, they do a whole
lot more than I was aware of. Knowing makes a difference for my
customers who make a point of using Made in America parts and
products.”
Sioux Chief has patented many of its products and engineered the
tooling and equipment used to automate and manufacture the
products all at its manufacturing plant in Peculiar, Missouri,
several miles south of Kansas City.
Sioux Chief products are sold through wholesale plumbing
distributors nationwide.
