Diversified Chemical Technologies

Diversity is a financial competitive advantage. That’s your customer. That’s the world you live in.

Detroit is a place where the world comes to you. It comes in the form of the diversity of its people…and companies that attract people from all over the world.

Epitec, Inc.

He started as a programmer, working for another company who asked him to move to California to open a branch. If he were going to open a branch for someone else, why not do it [here in Detroit] for himself?

My grandmother grew up on a reservation as a Mohawk Indian. She taught us that when you think about what you do, you think in terms of seven generations.
