Why Work Here?

Employees enjoy a stable, long-tenured workplace with paid breaks and lunches, very low turnover, and a clean, temperature-controlled environment where the work is steady rather than strenuous. The organization offers clear opportunities for growth, including training to become an extrusion technician with higher pay potential, as well as annual performance reviews and the possibility of raises. Team members benefit from a supportive culture that celebrates successes through holiday luncheons, raffles, gift cards, and high-value prizes. Comprehensive benefits include short- and long-term disability coverage, competitive benefits and 401(k), and profit sharing bonuses based on company performance. Above all, employees take pride in producing products that are used in hospitals and veterinary settings and play a direct role in saving human and animal lives.

Work Environment

The role is based in a highly technical, automated extrusion facility with approximately 50 employees across three shifts and nine state-of-the-art extrusion machines. The environment is extremely clean and temperature controlled, with air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. There is a sterile room maintained at around 68 degrees, and each employee receives a locker for personal belongings and suits up in a paper gown before every shift, similar to attire worn by medical staff entering surgery. A new gown is provided weekly. Tennis shoes are acceptable, while steel-toe boots are not required.

The facility operates under strict GMP and FDA requirements, and clean room protocols are rigorously enforced. Hair must be tied back with a hairnet worn at all times, and a beard net is required if applicable. For contamination control, employees may not wear fake nails, fingernail polish, make-up, false eyelashes, piercings, or jewelry of any kind in the clean room. Food and drink are not allowed in the clean room area. Production runs continuously, and machines do not stop during the shift, so operators stand at their stations throughout the shift while monitoring and managing the process. The plant produces approximately seven million feet of medical tubing per month for use in hospitals, surgeries, neonatal care, feeding tubes, vaccines, and veterinary health care products, creating a highly purposeful and focused work environment.
