President's Message

Ian WilsonWhy choose Nilex? While there are lots of reasons we stand out from the competition, the short answer is our people and the three-legged stool.

I know you probably hear from many different businesses the somewhat overused saying: “Our employees are our greatest asset.” But at Nilex, it is the real deal. The value of our company is found in our people and in the relationships that we have with our customers, business partners and each other. I’m very proud of my fellow Nilexians for their enthusiasm, professionalism and for simply being great people to work with.

If you spend any amount of time with me, you will hear me talk about the three-legged stool. Virtually everything we do for our customers revolves around the concept of the three-legged stool. Each of the legs of the stool represents the distinct, tangible advantages Nilex brings to our customers:

  • Economic – Nilex products and technologies save our customers time, money and materials as compared to conventional construction practices and materials.
  • Environmental – Nilex products and technologies lessen the environmental impact of virtually any construction project by protecting surface and ground water and by minimizing (and sometimes even eliminating) the need to mine, process and handle natural aggregate and fill materials.
  • Technical – Nilex products and services bring technical certainty, something conventional building practices simply cannot provide.

The advantages supporting the three-legged stool are more than just talk. Throughout our website, you can see demonstrated proof of these advantages in action, particularly in our Project Profiles which can be easily found in the Product pages and in the Projects section.

At Nilex, we want our customers to make informed, valuable and effective decisions about their construction projects. We recognize the need to balance short-term success with long-term benefit to the environment and our community. I know we can be of service on your next project.

Please send any comments, suggestions or questions you may have. I can be reached directly at iwilson@nilex.com. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
