Endorsement“I am proud to have hired Kevin for the Emco Wheaton
USA, Inc. Director of Operations position. He has demonstrated throughout his career with Emco Wheaton
that he possesses the necessary business knowledge and skills to manage a manufacturing business.
Additionally, he implemented the proper tools and metrics to bring this business under control. He
employed Lean manufacturing principles to drive out waste, improve performance, reduce inventory, and
drive dramatic bottom line performance. Lean principles were not adopted prior to Kevin’s employment and he successfully deployed cultural changes to achieve full
Lean adoption throughout the company. All of this occurred in a declining economy when cost reduction
performance was paramount to success. I would recommend Kevin for any upper level management
position where clear direction, process improvement, and operational excellence are necessary.”
Winfried KaiserV.P. & General Manager (Former)Emco Wheaton Strategic Business Unit Leader
Endorsement“I was Kevin’s immediate supervisor and can speak to his accomplishments within Proserv’s Gilmore Valve facility. I directed a regional conglomerate of companies of which Kevin was responsible for creating the most efficient and profitable business unit.
Kevin is credited with building a cohesive management team, integrating our FRESH Values, and developing a very strong safety culture. Kevin also incorporated LEAN / Six Sigma methodologies into the facility and drove the streamlining of processes to increase in his area. This facility had previous On-Time-Delivery and lead time issues that had to be improved. He developed a plan, realigned resources, assigned accountability, and drove a cultural change that was an example of “getting it done”. He successfully developed a strong operational team and eliminated internal barriers to drive growth opportunities that will be realized in the future.
I recommend Kevin for any upper level operational role that includes the full complement of departments where operational unity is a must with long term sustainable growth. Kevin has done an excellent job for Proserv and we are grateful to have had him with us to drive the change that was necessary for Proserv.”
