KAPCO Adds New Plant Manager

Kent Adhesive Products Co. (KAPCO), located in Kent, Ohio, has hired Joyce McCauley as the company's new plant manager.

McCauley joins the KAPCO team with over 20 years of manufacturing experience. She's held several positions during her career as an industrial engineer, including production manager, materials manager, manufacturing services manager, manager of productivity improvement and supervisor of outsource planning.

Her knowledge acquired from working in the manufacturing industry will be a great asset for her new role at KAPCO. She'll be responsible for overseeing the plant operations including production, personnel and building maintenance. When asked about her transition from working in the injection molding industry to a custom coating and converting facility, McCauley said, "The key critical measurements are the same. When looking at any production or manufacturing company you consider scrap, downtime and utilize your equipment for optimum efficiency."

"We're pleased that Joyce decided to join KAPCO," said Ed Small, president of KAPCO. "She brings years of manufacturing experience and knowledge along with a fresh perspective. I am looking forward to working with her as she works to improve our current manufacturing processes."

McCauley obtained her undergraduate degree in industrial management with a concentration in production from The University of Akron and MBA from Ashland University.
