The Creation of a new ITT
The history and future of ITT Corporation isn't linear. It's not about straight lines and traveling directly from point A to point B.
Instead, this is a company that is awake to possibilities, willing to make bold moves and find — and follow — the connections that will take ITT and its customers in new and exciting directions.
2011 marks the beginning — part one — of the next new adventure for ITT Corporation. With the spin-off of our water and defense businesses, ITT is now focused on capturing the imagination of customers in search of critical components that solve their hardest technical challenges.
Very often, our components are invisible — part of larger machines, vehicles and manufacturing processes — but our contributions are invaluable. We make highly engineered parts that make the world run and let people fly, drive, communicate, explore and stay healthy. Our people are passionate and driven. They go to the heart of customers' problems and provide solutions that will endure.
The ITT name carries well-earned weight. Our brands have built a reputation for delivering exactly what is needed, when it matters most.
That's been a hallmark of our company throughout its history, which dates back nearly a century.
We're not the same company we were yesterday. And we won't be the same tomorrow. We adapt with the times and with our customers. That's how great companies grow. Building on a long and storied heritage filled with true innovators and incredible milestones, the new ITT Corporation will tap into the best parts of our shared past and take the next important step into a wide-open future.
Throughout each chapter in our history, ITT has been known for transformative strategies that create value for shareowners. The 2011 transformation presents the greatest opportunity yet to write the best chapter in our shared history.
