From granite and quartz to laminate and solid surface, this episode of Compliance in Motion goes inside one of the Midwest’s largest countertop fabricators with Troy Ellsoos, Director of Operations at Countertop Factory Midwest. Troy shares how 40+ years in the industry shaped his approach to lean operations, cutting remakes below 5%, driving efficiency, and building systems that keep quality consistent across multiple locations.
