K/P Corp.--Achieving Purpose And Profit

"It is really the trickle-up effect," Scott remarks. "We listen earnestly to what our customers and our people are telling us, and we help them try to achieve it."

By following the fundamentals that have enabled K/P to gain its current success, Taylor believes the company can continue to improve and grow. "I want people to look at us and say, 'That's the kind of company I want to work for; I wonder if it's for real,' " he says. "I don't mind people being skeptical about it, as long as they're willing to work toward making it real."
