人们总是需要吃饭的, but how often do we think about the processes that bring our food from the production facility to the grocery store and, 最终, 端上外围十大菠菜app的盘子?
It was something that Michael Sobeski started to consider when he was working for a component manufacturer making rubber gaskets. He found the work interesting, but he wanted more in his engineering career. He wanted to work with complete systems, which is how he came across Barry-Wehmiller’s BW柔性系统 公司.
BW柔性系统 is based in Duncan, South Carolina and is part of our BW包装 公司集团. BW柔性系统 makes packaging systems that fill and bag thousands of food and non-food products. So, 当你去当地的杂货店时, 你在货架上看到的东西，比如面包店的东西, 糖果类零食, 冷冻食品, 新鲜农产品, 奶酪, 还有更多, 能在BW柔性系统公司的机器上包装吗. 当涉及到非食品产品时, 他们的机器帮助包装宠物食品, 个人护理, 制药, 农业, 整理和整理文件和邮件, 工业产品.
Michael has been with BW柔性系统 for almost seven years now, for the majority of that time as an applications engineer, 但他最近成了一名销售主管.
“应用工程实际上只是销售支持, 研究与开发, working with our customers and our sales team to develop new solutions, 打破包装和自动化的新障碍,他说. “这很有趣.”
What Michael liked about applications engineering was that “It's something new and different every day, whether we're packaging sponges or 奶酪 or wet wipes or potato chips, 你可以体验很多不同的环境, 与不同的客户和文化合作, 去体验一下吧. 以及技术本身, 它一直在进化, so just getting to be a part of what changes are going on in industry, 我非常喜欢的东西, 总是走在新事物的前沿.”
Michael said that one of his favorite projects as an applications engineer was with a bakery in Alabama.
“这是一个包装应用程序, 一个从未使用过的全新包裹, 一种在市场上从未使用过的包装风格,他说. 他们赢得了年度最佳包装奖. 这是一项艰苦的工作, 但看到回报是非常值得的, and (we) made some new relationships along the way with some of our close film suppliers and the customer as well. But yeah, just anytime you can solve a new problem with new folks, I think that's awesome.”
But beyond working with interesting products or technologies, Michael was motivated by the opportunity to genuinely have an impact in people’s lives – with how their food is packaged and preserved.
“I think that comes primarily in the standpoint of what we're doing with food safety and wash down equipment that you're not going to have any bacteria on the equipment that we're building,他说. “And I'm very proud of the focus that Barry-Wehmiller has put on that.”
同时，在可持续性方面.
“I know there's a lot of talk about that today in society,迈克尔说, “but we have invested in that and what does sustainable packaging look like? What are our landfills going to look like in years to come? And (I’m) 真的 proud of the work that we do to have the best equipment to handle those materials that are biodegradable or recyclable or compostable. That's going to make a difference for myself and for generations to come and something that 真的, 真的 motivates me and makes me excited to come to work here every day.”
This motivation to do work that has an impact in people’s lives is rooted in the Barry-Wehmiller culture. 毕竟, 就像外围十大菠菜app常说的, we measure success by the way we touch people’s lives – whether it’s the lives of our team members or the lives of our customers and our customers’ customers.
“So, the Barry-Wehmiller culture is that everybody matters,迈克尔说. ”,因此, I think we have to think beyond just maybe the profitability that we can make today, but it's about the legacy that I'm leaving for the next generation, 为了我的孩子和他们的孩子. 我给他们留下了什么烂摊子? 所以, 真的, it's about caring for people and being responsible for what the next generation will have to deal with.”
One of the moments Michael is most proud of in his career at BW柔性系统 was when he was recognized in a special way for his hard work.
“We have something called the High Five Award that's awarded by our sales team for extra contribution in the sales process or development process,他说. ”,因此, I was fortunate enough to be nominated for one of those a while back, and my wife knows the passion that I have for the work that I get to do each and every day and there are probably some sacrifices involved in that.
“但当我被提名该奖项时, she received a letter in the mail just thanking her for allowing me to make those contributions. 所以, 那真的击中了我的要害, just the gratitude enough to thank me for that contribution and also thank my wife for the sacrifices that she's allowing me to make. And it just allows her to believe with me in the good work that we're doing here at Barry-Wehmiller. 所以，我觉得那真的很酷.”
Everybody wants to know that who they are and what they do matters. When team members like Michael are cared for by their leaders, 反过来，他们更有动力去关心别人.
And this circle of care is how business can truly have an impact in the world.
