In this episode of Seen and Solved, host Tim Pennington talks with two of the people who help keep things moving behind the scenes: Tim Large, Plant Manager in South Carolina, and Mike Kohlberg, Warehouse Supervisor in Connecticut. Together, they bring more than 30 years of experience managing inventory, quality, and delivery with consistency and care.

Hear how they approach planning, communication, and continuous improvement—and how those efforts directly impact customers. Lean thinking, barcoding systems, and real-time coordination help keep quality high and lead times low. From making sure chemistry is in stock and in spec, to finding smarter ways to ship and store materials, this episode is all about the everyday decisions that help keep manufacturers up and running.

This is the part of chemistry you don’t always see — but always count on.
