Quality is critical in every aspect of a business. Not only do products need to meet certain expectations, but so do managers and team members.

In this episode, Steve Flory, a veteran in the plastics industry, discusses his experience and approach to vacuum forming, a manufacturing process that creates plastic parts by heating and shaping plastic sheets. 

Steve shares his journey at Paramount Plastics, from learning how to work within deadlines during his education, to gaining ideas on how things should be done from his experience. In addition, he shares his perspectives on the importance of prioritizing high-quality production over cost and quantity, while explaining the ins and outs of vacuum forming. Furthermore, he explains the vital importance of properly training employees for longevity and success.

Emily Bopp also joins this episode to preview a miniseries on EV’s strategy that will cover the four key components: excellence in acquiring, stewarding, ESOPing, and storytelling.
