Progress Over Perfection: Earning Your Place in FUSION
Partnering with Progressive Contractors to Eliminate Supply Chain Waste
At the heart of our FUSION Partnership Program is the belief that true collaboration drives better outcomes. 51% of what makes this program successful comes down to real partnership—built on shared accountability, cultural alignment, and a mutual commitment to doing what’s right.
We believe in winning and problem-solving together, engaging early to reduce risk, and streamlining procurement to benefit both sides. Through open, transparent communication and a focus on creating shared value, we work as one team with our partners—not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them.
