Operations Supervisor

Our Story

We get it-you're in the middle of a job search, and most companies are starting to sound the same. Here's the good news: we're different.

At 94 years old and counting, we've built our success on delivering exceptional service to our customers. But that success starts on the floor-with the people who make sure the right products get where they need to go, safely and on time. As a 100% employee-owned company, we thrive in a culture of cooperation and collaboration. Instead of a "not my job" mindset, we embrace a "how can I help?" approach. Because when the operation runs smoothly, we all win.
