Meet The Team

Operations Excellence Manager

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.

Manufacturing Engineering 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
