Our Culture

Family

Great Lakes Lamination is a family-owned and operated business. This sense of family is extended to all our team members. We strive to know each member on a personal as well as professional level.

Linette – Scheduler

“Working for a company that’s core foundation is family, like Great Lakes Lamination, you hope to see at least a small part of these family values in their daily interactions. Mark, Jenny, and all their management team have far exceeded those expectations. They truly believe if we care for each other, respect each other, have understanding, and work hard together that we will all be rewarded. And we are. This team makes sure we know our value to them. Whether it be something as small as speaking to everyone like they’ve known us our whole lives or as big as sending flowers or a card to grieving employees in a time of loss. They remind us that we are in this together. This company is truly family-oriented, and I am honored to be here.”

“I get to work with people that I enjoy working with and have been granted the opportunities to do what I like to do.”
