Glide-Line is a game-changing brand and product line developed from the ground up by NCC Automated Systems, a 34-year-old leader in several industries related to automation and conveyor systems.

We designed this product and business unit with deliberate attention to speed, versatility and eliminating barriers.  Our tagline is:  Fast. Flexible. Easy.  We do things that nobody in our class does, we do it with greater speed, efficiency, and make it a great customer experience. 

Glide-Line runs as a small business unit with a dedicated staff.  This allows for agility and focus, but with the support of a larger company due to operating within the NCC Automated Systems umbrella.  NCC overall is approx. $30mm with 75 employees.

The Glide-Line brand was started in 2014 and we have supported the Assembly Automation market primarily through “configured product” sales to integrators doing assembly line integration.  This market is supported through independent sales reps throughout North America, with a few direct accounts. 

We seek to maximize that market, as well as find and penetrate new markets.   Our innovation, flexibility and speed have helped us grow our business from zero to where it is today, but we need to keep our eye on future growth. 

We are looking for a driven, charismatic, and strategic sales leader with a history of driving growth of a product line.

This is a young and growing portion of our business.  We are looking for double digit growth in the business unit and believe that the product line has the capability to be a $15m business unit in 10 years. 

From a cultural perspective, the parent company, NCC Automated Systems, is an extremely unique company.  First, we are driven by the 5 following core values:

1. It takes a Village – we are here for each other
2. We are Warriors – we fight until we make it happen
3. Life is Short – we choose to have a positive attitude and have fun
4. We are Brave – we try new things and strive to be great
5. OwnIt – we embrace responsibility because we are all owners

People that fit those core values love working at NCC (recently selected as one of The Philadelphia Inquirers Top Businesses to work) and the culture is truly unmatched. 

We are also an Employee Owned Company. What does that mean?  It means that employees accumulate shares in the company over time.   The value of the shares, dependent upon the value of the company, goes into each employee’s account and accumulates over time.  This is done by an ERISA regulated retirement plan called an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).  The best part of being an ESOP is that it drives an Ownership Culture, as every employee has a long-term stake in the outcome.    Visit https://www.nceo.org/ to learn more about ESOPs.

To help support the Ownership Culture, we have also developed a completely financially transparent company.  Every single person in the company has a number and a visible contribution to our profitability and reports on it weekly.  Through this program, employees can see how we are doing on both a short-term basis (where we share in the gains over our plan quarterly) and long term through the ESOP.  Visit greatgame.com to learn more. 

To further move the needle and create complete alignment and transparency, we are ardent devotees of the EOS operating system that shares the company vision in a simple, concise manner and helps organize our business activities into laser focused priorities as well as gives all employees a platform to raise issues and collaborate solutions.  Last year, we raised 1,963 “issues” and solved 88% of them. We also completed 118 Rocks (these are 90 days goals that align with our 1-year goals and biggest challenges or opportunities). 

To summarize the key drivers of our business:

• Our Value Driven Culture
• Our Ownership Culture
• Our Transparency
• Our Alignment and Laser Focus

By doing this, we have created an unbelievably powerful force of motivated employees, who are all driven to make the company better every day.  This is a key factor in our collective goal to grow the company to $100m in 10 years. 

The bottom line is that we have a team of highly motivated individuals but need some key driving forces in key areas of our business to get to the next level.  Sales leadership in our Core business in the Sales and Apps department is certainly a key piece of the puzzle.
