Broken Arrow, Okla.-based Tactical Electronics is one of the 2016 Best Workplaces in Manufacturing and Production, according to the global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine.
Tactical Electronics ranked No. #2 on the list, a ranking based on employees’ own assessments of the trust they feel toward Tactical Electronics’ leaders, the pride they take in their jobs and the camaraderie they experience with coworkers. The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing and Production as a group stand out for fair profit sharing, giving employees a measure of job security and low turnover.

They need to focus on attracting and retaining top talent by putting people first, in a high-trust culture. That’s how they are winning in the market.”
