Crane’s founder, Richard Teller Crane, was focused on doing business the right way and providing the best quality for our customers when he started Crane in 1855. Crane Aerospace & Electronics is built on that same foundation of strength and integrity.

R.T. Crane wove strong values into Crane's fabric. He built a performance-based culture rooted in trust and respect. He believed in collaboration, diversity and that operating a business with the highest-quality of people would ensure financial success. Crane also believed in taking care of his employees and focusing on the customer more than the dollar. Crane also knew markets always change, and to stay ahead, success would depend on becoming faster, better and easier to do business with tomorrow, next month and next year. Through three centuries of committed excellence, Crane's values for the company remain unchanged.
