Clopay leader joins Ohio State podcast to talk manufacturing challenges, opportunities
Looking for the latest pulse on the manufacturing industry from leaders who live it every day?
The Ohio State University’s Ohio Manufacturing Institute this week released the latest edition of its Manufacturing Tomorrow podcast, a twice-monthly sit-down with leaders in the trade. The featured guest this week is Vance Greene, senior director of global quality and operational excellence at COE member Clopay Plastic Products.
Mason-based specialty plastics maker Clopay joined the COE last year. The company makes specialty plastic films used in everything from infant diapers and feminine hygiene products to equipment covers and product packaging. Its fascinating history began in 1930 and picked up steam during World War II when the company made waterproof laminated paper and board for overseas packaging. The company later entered the burgeoning plastics market (if that conjures a movie reference, it’s one not lost on podcast host Marty Kress, either) – and the rest is history.
A graduate of the Fisher College of Business’ trailblazing Master of Business Operational Excellence program, Greene chats about everything from the company’s global growth prospects to the value of applying op-ex principles throughout the organization.
Clopay is the latest COE-affiliated company to be featured on the podcast, which you can listen to here. Past speakers also include Abbott Nutrition’s Matthew Roberts and Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Becky Bach, both recent keynotes at center events.
