Think back to 1961 (those of you who can) … when President John F. Kennedy announced that the United States was working to put a man on the moon. Did it even sound possible? I’m sure many thought it was a long-shot at best (no pun intended) and more likely a disastrous endeavor. But it happened… as you well know. And ILC Dover played a part in this amazing, historic event after winning a contract from NASA to design the Apollo Space Suit.
Sometimes I reflect on how the ILC team built this remarkable product… how it faced such a daunting challenge that defined our nation’s history. Somewhat even more amazing is the fact that ILC Dover has continued to create innovative and life changing products. The team thrives on the challenge of achieving that which seems impossible. And it succeeds every time.
That success in turn presented me with a challenge. I hold the responsibility of letting the public know how amazing we are at ILC Dover. I intend to rebrand this company so that its brilliance is no longer a secret.
If we set limits for ourselves, we may never reach our full potential.
I can’t tell you if I heard those words or created them. Either way, I live by them. And each member of the ILC team lives by them as well. So, each element of our corporate rebranding reflects ILC Dover’s story and the tenacity of its people.
Our new tagline is Beyond Boundaries… two words that perfectly describe what we do. We meet every challenge and push beyond the boundaries of expectation, making the seemingly impossible… possible. We even redesigned our corporate logo to feature the ILC Dover name extending past the boundaries of a square.
Yes, preconceived limitations exist. But at ILC Dover, we push beyond restrictions of time, space and even materials to create new services, products and opportunities.
And everyone at ILC loves a challenge.
