Marcus BarnhartI would have never returned to school if it weren’t for Quanex and their tuition reimbursement program. I earned my master’s degree in Organizational Management from the University of Arizona. Quanex’s commitment to my professional growth is one of the many reasons I enjoy working here.

Ashton Rentsch“Quanex’s tuition reimbursement program allowed me to complete my Business Administration degree through the University of Arizona debt-free. The five-week course plan design made it easy to balance class work, home life, and a full-time work schedule. Since completing my degree program, I have been promoted to Product Management Specialist.”
Safety is paramount
We have comprehensive safety programs and training to ensure our employees have effective tools to identify and eliminate unsafe conditions and at-risk behaviors to empower employees to communicate and take an active role in making important changes.
Employees take part in frequent safety meetings to ensure all safety measures are in place, as well as monthly safety meetings with upper level leadership. These are important touch points to clearly communicate expectations across shifts and give a platform for employees to ask any questions.
We’ve implemented a program at every location to provide on-site physical therapists (PT) or exercise physiologists to manage ergonomic issues.
We work to minimize change-related safety risks through a robust Management of Change (MOC) Policy—requiring that all process changes are reviewed and approved by appropriate departments to ensure safe practices.
Endless opportunities for growth
Partnered with women in manufacturing (WiM)
We strive for opportunities to create a diverse and inclusive environment, including a commitment to the advancement of women in manufacturing. As part of this commitment, Quanex is an official member of Women in Manufacturing—the only national organization dedicated to providing support to women working in the manufacturing industry. Through this partnership, Quanex offers a course for production employees to help them move up into management roles.

Making a difference in our local communities
Employees often feel proud to work for a company that is actively involved in community initiatives. Participating in volunteer activities or charitable events can boost employee morale, foster teamwork, and increase job satisfaction.
The Quanex Cares Committee is made up of a group of volunteer-minded Quanex employees who work together to identify, organize and drive charitable participation from the ground up at all of our facilities. Through the committee, we have already sponsored numerous food and supply drives and provided various opportunities for Quanex employees to participate in charitable initiatives such as cancer walks and holiday giving trees. And that is just a small part of what they hope to achieve!
