“Quality builds its own reputation has been the Ajax motto since 1958. Our model of customer service, integrity & transparency, inclusion, collaboration, innovation, excellence, and a culture of Safety 360 are how we maintain that reputation of quality. It is also how we’re able to meet the ABC AQC standards thus earning us another year of accreditation, certification we’ve held since 2009, something of which we’re extremely proud.”
