Meet The Team

Senior Launch Reliability Manager

What I enjoy about Means are the people, the size of the company, and the diverse opportunities they provide. The collective of individuals here at Means is small enough where you will get to know most everyone. With getting to know most everyone, bonds are created where everyone can joke around with each other and still get the job done at the end of the day. I wear many hats that provide many opportunities throughout my week, which keeps it interesting. These opportunities include manager, machinist, debug technician, safety member, project manager, and designer. Means provides many incentives to strive harder to engineer and produce robust/quality products.

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 can’t say enough positive things about working at Means. First, employees are involved in leadership decisions and are empowered to bring ideas forward. Shortly after starting at Means I was tasked with a large project and it is very rewarding to watch your hard work pay off and know its being used in business decisions. Second, the work environment is highly collaborative. This helps foster great communication between all groups and allows us to accomplish our goals. Finally it’s been a great experience learning about the automotive industry and the important role played. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for a medium sized company, but at the same time as a subsidiary of Amsted Industries, having the benefits of a large company.

Director of Advanced Engineering

Having worked at other companies, it didn’t take too long to figure out Means is a fantastic place to work. Our engineered products are regarded as world-class in our market segment. The company is of nimble size. It is large enough for every employee to have the resources needed to function at a high-level, yet small enough to get things done without a lot of bureaucracy. There is a “do-what it takes” mentality at all levels of the company, which facilitates a team effort. The company’s commitment to its people is second-to-none. Means has provided me with various development opportunities, including continuing education. Overall, choosing to work at Means has been the best decision of my professional career.

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.

Operations Excellence Specialist

Having been employed with Means for over eight years now, I was extremely impressed with all the teamwork at Means. No matter who you ask for assistance and no matter how busy they are, employees at Means are more than willing to drop whatever they are doing to assist you. Knowledge sharing is a huge asset when you are new to the company, and people here are more than willing to help you. As a Cost Accounting Manager, my days are filled with interaction with Manufacturing, Sales, Purchasing, and Accounts Payable employees. This interaction allows us all to have a better overall understanding of our business. Overall, my experience here at Means has been positive and beneficial.

Working at Means Industries has opened my eyes to what a working environment should look and feel like. Our culture encourages everyone to never stop learning and to be the best employee possible. The strong engineering drive to come up with the next best product is a great change from other companies that I have worked for.

Advanced Product Engineering Manager

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.
