Program Manager

Kreate is a family-owned plastic injection molding company headquartered in Findlay, Ohio, with operations across five states. We create consumer goods sold by major retailers-products that improve everyday experiences for the people who use them.

What makes Kreate different is how we think. We're on a mission to reimagine familiar product categories and turn "same old" into "new and improved." That mindset drives everything we do-from product development and manufacturing to how we invest in our people and run our operations.

Innovation at Kreate isn't limited to engineering or design teams. It shows up on the plant floor, in continuous improvement efforts, in how we adopt new technologies, and in how we support our teams. We're always evolving-our processes, our tools, and our capabilities-because we believe the best ideas can come from anywhere.

As a family-owned company, we take a long-term approach to growth. We value accountability, collaboration, and people who take pride in their work. Here, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact, learn new skills, and help shape how we build products and run our business.

If you're looking for a place where innovation is expected, initiative is encouraged, and your work truly matters, we'd love to Kreate the future together .
