Quality

Productivity

We invest in the best and most modern facilities and equipment that ensure the highest levels of productivity from our employees.

Improvement

We believe in the process of continuous improvement. It is the relentless quest for a better way; the challenge of higher quality craftsmanship. It is not perfection but rather the pursuit of it.

Teamwork

We strive to work together as a spirited team in an environment of trust, cooperation, mutual respect, understanding and support of the needs of others.

Ethics

We strive to maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity in all facets of our activities.

Twinco’s name has been a “well-kept secret” in the signal business. In fact, you have probably been using parts manufactured by us for decades without even knowing it.
