With strict adherence to the Crane Business System (CBS), Crane is a highly process focused organization. CBS has been, and will continue to be, a critical driver of Crane's consistent execution and long-term success, driving a performance-based culture with a strong focus on accountability and results. Through the years, Crane has excelled in serving its customers, employees, investors, and communities in which they operate by focusing on the following principles:
- Unwavering commitment to ethics and integrity. The R.T. Crane Resolution, written when the company was founded in 1855, is the core upon which our business has been built, "I am resolved to conduct my business in the strictest honesty and fairness, to avoid all deception and trickery, to deal fairly with both customers and competitors, to be liberal and just towards employees and to put my whole mind on the business".
- Focus on philanthropy. Giving back to the communities in which we operate has been a core part of the Company’s identity for over a century, deeply rooted in the values of our founder, R.T. Crane. We believe that success comes with a responsibility to support both employees and the broader community – not just through financial contributions, but also through active engagement and volunteerism.
- Customer focus. Every day, Crane’s associates ensure that they are doing their utmost to solve their customer’s most critical process needs. With a high commitment to Quality and On-Time Delivery, we leverage our innovative solutions to solve their most pressing needs. Driving profitable growth, for our customers… our associates… our communities… and our shareholders.
- A disciplined cadence of execution built on clear objectives and metrics, detailed action plans and a repeatable process to drive execution and profitable growth.
- Emphasis on continuous improvement in all that we do. We believe there is always an opportunity to become better, and we continuously strive to improve in all facets of our business, eliminating waste, variation, and overburden.
- Development of our people, who are process focused and thrive on executing strategy and profitable growth through a disciplined cadence of execution. Nothing that we accomplish can be achieved without our outstanding employees. They are an integral part of who we are, and we leverage our internal Intellectual Capital (IC) process to foster their growth and development.
In June 2025, Crane announced our intent to acquire Precision Sensors & Instrumentation (“PSI”), a leading provider of sensor-based technologies for aerospace, nuclear and process industries, from Baker Hughes. The $1.1 billion acquisition will add roughly $400 million in sales and 1,700 associates to Crane. PSI includes the Druck, Panametrics, and Reuter-Stokes brands that manufacture instrumentation and sensor-based technologies to detect and analyze pressure, flow, gas, moisture, and radiation across various industries, serving customers in more than 90 countries. Crane is so excited for the planned welcome of these brands into our portfolio and the role they will play in continuing to drive profitable growth for the company.
