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 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.

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.

What I really enjoy about Means is the company management philosophy. We are pushed daily to be productive and work hard. In turn, we are rewarded with wonderful benefits. Working here, I truly feel appreciated and my hard work is valued. After more than 16 years, I still look forward to coming into work every day, and I feel just as vital to this company’s success, as I did when I first began.

At Means, I have been impressed by the team atmosphere. The open door policy promotes an environment where members across all functions can effectively work together to solve problems and meet the needs of our customers. Coming from a much larger company, it is refreshing to see your role have a direct impact on the business decisions made by leadership. It is exciting to work for a company that is steadily growing by manufacturing products that are transforming the future of the automotive industry. My decision to work for Means has been a step in the right direction for my career and look forward to an exciting future.

One of the best aspects of working at Means is the quality of my coworkers.  My colleagues help to create a work environment that is enjoyable to be a part of and a culture that fosters new and innovative ways to approach work. It has been fulfilling to be part of a team that wants to see you succeed both professionally and personally.   It is also stimulating to work for a company that is not out sized but still continually growing.  This creates the potential for employees to gain a diversity of work experiences within a single company.  Means Industries is a great place to work!

Director, APEX

Means attracted me with the vision of the company that management expressed. I was also blown away by the extremely positive company culture. From the moment I entered the facility for the first time, I was taken aback by the difference between Means and other automotive facilities. I really admire the fact that Means Management stresses employee development, and in turn employees are trained very well. Another thing I really like is that most promotions occur from within. Feeling valued and important by my company makes me look forward to coming into work every day.

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.

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.
