SCOTT KATTNER
Nominated by Greg Malcolm, VP operations:
"Scott is a self-starter, plans and organizes without assistance, knows what must be done, makes effective use of multitasking skills to achieve productive results. Scott effectively organizes, assembles and arranges personnel resources to meet production deadlines – even when faced with limited resources.
Scott's been constantly challenged to identify creative solutions to overcome staffing shortages and/or production scheduling conflicts to achieve results. Primary examples: COVID decimated Scott's department during January
2021; up to 40 percent of his department was out on leave. Scott successfully managed through the 518 press runs during the crisis. Then beyond imagination, Texas was hit with a winter cold front that would challenge even Michigan's weather in February. His team pulled together all hands-on deck as Scott and his supervisors dug in, setting up and running presses alongside the rest of his team. The crews performed very, very well, successfully overcoming mother nature despite ERCOT'S random blackouts. Scott understands what must be done, and nothing stands in his way!"
