Meet The Team

Program Manager

Due to world economics, I have had an opportunity to work for a number of global companies of varying sizes in both the automotive and chemical industries with responsibilities ranging from my first as a product engineer to various developmental engineering, manufacturing engineering, program management, corporate engineering liaison, engineering management, maintenance management and capital management positions.  This career path has provided familiarity with a wide variety of global and domestic employer, customer and supplier work environments and cultures.  With this in mind, it is easy for me to say that Means is a great place to work!

Senior Product Development Engineer

Means Industries is a great place to work; the culture here makes working feel not like a need but a want. This company is engineering driven which is perfect for an engineer such as me. We are encouraged to be creative and open minded to help make the products of the future. Means is unique in the fact that we are a medium sized company with a small company feel, and since we are a subsidiary of Amsted Industries we have the large company traits and benefits as well. I’ve been working here for over five years, and look forward to many more.

Sr. Commercial Manager

For over 20 years I’ve reported to an organization that has been instrumental in providing me opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. Means is not only committed to continuously improving its products, processes and total customer offering; but it is just as committed to its team members’ career development. It’s great to work at an organization that has forward thinking leadership and is full of creative problem solvers. We are doing things within our relatively small organization that are making huge impacts on both mature and evolving technologies. To be valued as an individual and to be part of continuously advancing ideas brings added intrinsic benefits to my employment here. Means is and has been a great employer to report to; I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and I’m looking forward to our future challenges.

I wanted to work at Means because of their solid reputation in the auto industry. Our products and philanthropy showed me that the company cares about the bottom line and giving back to society. I take pride in working for a company that constantly pushes me to be better. There are many opportunities for career advancement, as well as educational incentives. It is evident that Means is passionate about creating an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to succeed. I am excited to see what lies ahead for me.

I joined the Means team after hearing great things from a friend. After being immersed in the Means culture for over 10 years, I cannot imagine working anywhere else.

Product Development Engineer

I joined Means as an engineering co-op in 2014 while I was completing my undergraduate program at Kettering University. I got to work in several departments and locations before ending up in the R&D group at the Propulsion Systems unit where I joined full time as a product development engineer after graduating in 2016. Now I work with my colleagues to develop clutch system technologies adapted to the needs of future powertrains. It’s been exciting to be a part of the latest growth and evolution of the company, and I have been fortunate to have opportunities to learn from those in leadership positions. Additionally, Means strongly supports continued learning in academic settings. This environment has been a catalyst for my own personal growth, and I am grateful for my time here.

My years with Means have been a fast paced learning and growing experience. The hands-on approach to learning about Means products was enhanced through cooperative learning experiences with other Means employees. My Means coworkers are a great group of hard working, helpful, and knowledgeable people who are focused on providing the best possible product to our customers. I only wish I had found Means years earlier.

I have been working for Means as a product engineer for over 5 years. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the collaboration between engineering, sales, marketing, and purchasing to complete important program oriented tasks. I have worked for large companies before where you are treated like a number. At Means you are valued as an individual and treated like a member of a family. As a company we are always pushing the limits of technology and coming up with innovative ideas to take the company to the next level.
