To All TriMas Corporation Employees
The Company has experienced a significant amount of change in
recent years. However, throughout this period, maintaining the
highest standards of legal and ethical conduct in everything
we do has always been our corporate policy and an integral party
of the Company culture. The Company is strongly committed to
compliance with both the letter and the spirit of all laws applicable
to our business. No one in the Company, from the Chief Executive
Officer to the newest employee, is ever expected or authorized
to commit an illegal or unethical act, or to instruct others
to do so – not in the name of business efficiency; not
to get results; not for any reason.
The Company's reputation for ethical business practices
is one of our most valued assets. This reputation was achieved
and is maintained through the efforts of you, our employees,
and the avoidance of any activity or interest that might reflect
unfavorably upon the Company's integrity or good name.
Every transaction that we enter into must be capable of public
scrutiny without risk of embarrassment to the Company or its
stakeholders. Any transaction that fails this test is unacceptable.
To evidence our commitment, the Company's Board of Directors
has adopted this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. It summarizes
the principles that should guide our actions in the global marketplace
as we strive to be the best in everything we do. Our Code of
Conduct promotes not only "doing things right" but
also "doing the right thing."
I ask each person in the TriMas family to make a personal commitment
to follow this Code of Conduct. Guiding us in upholding our
obligations are a set of Company policies on key ethical issues.
All employees of the Company and its subsidiary businesses must
comply with these policies.
If you ever have a question or a concern about what is proper
conduct for you or anyone else, you should immediately raise
the issue with your supervisor, your local Human Resources representative,
our Ethics Office, the Company Legal Department, the employee
hotline, or through other channels the Company makes available
to you. Company leaders have an additional responsibility to
foster a culture in which compliance with our policies and Code
of Conduct is at the fundamental core of our activities.
All of us within the TriMas family have reason to be proud of
what we have accomplished. We also have an exciting future in
front of us. However, each of us has a responsibility to assure
that we continue to follow our commitment to the highest standards
of legal and ethical conduct. Thank you for your role in making
this Code of Conduct an integral part of our business.
Grant H. Beard
President and Chief Executive Officer
