Celebrating
MANUFACTURING
Excellence By The Editors
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Gilbert Richards, Jr., the founder of perennial MANNY winner Richards Industries, is the 2019 awardee of the MANNY Lifetime Achievement Award. Gilbert Richards, Jr. began his career on Wall Street. He worked for a leveraged buyout firm, which sent him to Cincinnati to gain practical experience with a new manufacturer the firm had acquired. Richards quickly realized the work setting—where nozzles, valves, fittings and couplings for the petroleum industry were produced—was a challenge he enjoyed far more than sitting behind a Wall Street desk. So he stayed and bought the company in 1961. Over the next 46 years, Richards grew the firm from six employees to an enterprise with nearly 200 workers. Under R icha rds’ leadersh ip, t he compa ny created a distribution organization, expanded the product line, acquired related companies and successfully entered the global market.

In the early years, when the company was small, Richards would go into the back door of industrial plants and sell directly to the maintenance people, selling one or two valves at a time. Over time, the company’s methods became more sophisticated, but Richards never lost his affinity for the personal touch. Richards’ commitment to his employees was demonstrated when, upon retirement, he sold the company to his employees. The move, not without risk, had been a longtime goal of Richards’ and it gave him great satisfaction. Richards supported organizations and events such as the Cincinnati Country Day School, Au lt Pa rk a nd t he May Festival. He was married to wife Mary for 49 years. Those who knew Richards well described him as a “no-nonsense” man. Yet a personal goal of Richards, who died in April 2017, was to live his life by making at least one person happy every day.

Xact Medical, Inc.
Location: Springboro Ownership: Private Founded: 2016 Employees: 6 CEO: Andrew Cothrel Website: xactmedical.com Business: Medical device development
Springboro medical device developer Xact Medical was founded in 2016 to bring to life a revolutionary advancement. Its Fast Intelligent Needle Delivery (FIND) device is a hand-held ultrasound-guided probe that uses intelligent technology to allow any clinician, regardless of experience, to perform injections on a patient’s body.
“The device combines advanced imaging with the precision of robotics to place needles exactly where you want them to go,” describes Dr. Dan von Allmen, cofounder of Xact and surgeon-in-chief at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The goal for FIND is beyond simple injections; Xact wants to expand the utility of the device’s ability to make difficult procedures safer and more reliable through robotics. “It’s really a platform,” says von Allmen, describing how FIND’s smart robotic delivery system can be adapted for nerve blocks, biopsies and other procedures. “[And] that system can be brought to the bedside as opposed to taking a patient to a very big, very expensive unit. Bring the treatment to the patient, not the patient to the treatment.” – Kevin Michell

Melink Corporation
Location: Milford Ownership: Private Founded: 1987 Employees: 100 CEO & Chairman: Steve Melink Website: melinkcorp.com Business: Provider of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions for commercial buildings
Alex Falck, product engineer for Melink Corporation’s new product, PositiV, says the building system is almost like a FitBit for buildings. “Not everyone needs or wants a FitBit but it gives users the information they need to kind of improve their overall health. Similarly, PositiV will give building owners and facility managers the
information they need to improve their buildings.” PositiV, which just launched last year, monitors and tracks building health metrics like CO2, temperature relative to humidity and building pressure. “We took market feedback from our other business units and then implemented this product, which will be used in retail, restaurant facilities…it can be used in hospitals, things like that, where building pressure and building health is pretty important to maintain,” says Falck. Melink is working to spread the word among retail and restaurant facilities, but Falck says the company would like to expand to larger buildings—such as manufacturing facilities—in the future. - Corinne Minard

NEW JOB CREATION
Mesa Industries, Inc.
Location: East End Ownership: Private Founded: 1967 Employees: 70 President: Brian Karns Website: mesa-intl.com Business: Engineer and manufacturer of products, such as emission controls and industrial water drains for oil companies
Mesa Industries, located in the East End, has been in business for over 50 years, but the best may yet to come. The company created 16 new positions in 2018, representing a 25 percent growth in its full-time workforce. Its mid-2017 acquisition of WG Seals brought a complimentary product line and a process Mesa previously had to outsource under its roof, but it also led
to more jobs at the company. “We hired front-line managers, supervisors, production leads,” says Heather Britton, Human Resources manager. “By doing that we were able to provide our employees a direct succession path so they can see what their future would look like—not just adding those positions but being able to show them that we’re committed to their future.” Mesa added press brake operations to its facility for the first time and new positions in super v ision and sk illed operation. Britton believes this should encourage continued growth that will in turn make Mesa an employer of choice in the region. – KM

Clippard Instrument Laboratory Location: Colerain Township Ownership: Private Founded: 1941 Employees: 215 President: William A. Clippard Website: clippard.com Business: Manufacturer of pneumatic and electronic miniature control solutions
Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc.— which manufactures products that run the gamut of industrial needs—has seen its focus on the growing medical/life sciences market pay off in job creation. “We’ve been adding quite a few positions around the company because our strategy this year has really been to focus on the medical/life sciences market,” says William A. Clippard, president. The company
recently added 10 new positions to support that strategy, bringing its total workforce to 220 employees, he says. Clippard Instrument Laboratory was also the recipient of the recent Hamilton County Southwest Ohio Region Workforce Investment Board’s Super Award for its efforts in creating jobs and partnering with Ohio Means Jobs for training employees new skills. The company has been promoting a strategy to achieve 10% annual growth. That strategy helped the company achieve a new sales record of $30 million in 2018. The company achieved this record by keeping its employees focused on the strategy, measuring progress toward goals each month and making adjustments to maximize manufacturing capacity. In addition, the company became customer focused and prioritized delivering meaningful products that were customized to fit its customers’ needs. – Eric Spangler

KDM POP Solutions Group Location: Evendale Ownership: Private Founded: 1970 Employees: 308 President: Bob Kissel Website: kdmpop.com Business: Point of purchase solutions provider
KDM Pop Solutions Group, a 2015 and 2017 MANNY Best Place to Work winner, has been named a Best Place to Work yet again thanks to the innovative ways it engages with its employees. “[President Bob Kissel] believes in engaging from the top down all throughout the organization. And that translates into
programming and benefits that we’re able to offer to our employees—the Dreammakers program, the wellness program, our training, the work we do within the community [and] partnering with our local school districts to identify talent and bring it into the company,” says Cara Shelton, Dreammakers and wellness program manager. The Dreammakers program, for example, provides employees with coaches (and even financial support) to help them fulfill their dreams. The company has also taken that helpful attitude and applied it to the local community. KDM Pop Solutions Group has partnered with Princeton School District to help kids learn skills they need if they’re seeking employment straight out of high school. - CM

Because continuous improvement is important to us, we believe it applies to company culture as well. So we are always looking for ways to make Richards Industries an even better place.” The company has sat with employees going through chemotherapy, mock interviewed children of employees, helped employees looking to lose weight, held an annual recognition dinner and even given out Dairy Queen ice cream when it was hot outside. “We’re also very proud of our employee recognition program,” says Koopman. “We like to celebrate wins and everyday things when we can.” - CM

Many other employees are working toward college degrees of their own to continue their advancement in the company. Monti long offered tuition reimbursement but it was underutilized, says Molly Fender, vice president of human resources. Leadership began paying for classes upfront in order to spur greater involvement. “Since we’ve done that, we’ve had a ton of people use the benefit,” Fender notes. Members of the leadership team are continuing their educations, too. Three are in the process of gaining their master’s in business administration, Fender included. Supporting employees’ professional growth has built a positive workplace culture at Monti, strengthened by exceptional retention. – KM

United Performance Metals

Hamilton’s United Performance Metals has been active in engaging with its employees, building a workplace offering competitive benefits, f lexibility and a positive culture. Employee Tim Moore has seen it first hand throughout his 25 years with the company. Moore started as a machin-
ist but didn’t feel perfectly comfortable with adjusting to the office atmosphere of management. So United Performance Metals created a position for him to stay on the shop floor but also function as a team leader. “They knew I was an energy kind of guy on the floor,” Moore describes. “I want to work with my hands, I want to produce stuff. Being there as long as I have, I’ve learned a lot and that has given me the ability to help people who are struggling in other areas.” The company started small and its workforce has grown together over the years, fostering open communication and promotion from within. “I think they genuinely care about the employees,” says Moore. “It kind of became a big family.” – KM

That approach to building a family atmosphere has paid off for the bottom line as Perfetti Van Melle USA grew its business by 6.3% in 2018, nearly eight times more than the rest of the non-chocolate/mints/ gum category. – ES
TOP GROWTH
Deceuninck North America
Location: Monroe Ownership: Public Founded: Founded in 1969, purchased by Deceuninck in 1995 Employees: 536 President & CEO: Filip Geeraert Website: deceuninckna.com Business: Design, compounding, tolling, lamination and PVC extrusion company that produces energyefficient PVC window and door systems
Though somewhat hard to pronounce— just think of someone named Nick who works at the Dairy Queen (dee-CUEnink)—Monroe’s Deceuninck has experienced nearly 200% growth in the PVC extrusion industry over the last six years. That g row t h has been spurred by solidifying customer relations, maintaining product quality and keeping an eye on potential avenues for innovative expansion.
“We’re always looking for new opportunities to serve existing markets and geographies,” says Phil Morton, Deceuninck’s director of business development and innovation, “but also looking at new, adjacent markets.” Adding valuable new technologies to Deceuninck’s product line has helped, as has the installation of additional high-speed production and extrusion lines. Morton acknowledges this growth— and the recognition of it—provides the company with more credibility in the marketplace and encouragement to keep going. “This MANNY award is part of that affirmation that we’re doing some of these things right,” Morton says. – KM

TOP GROWTH
Cold Jet
Location: Miami Township, Clermont County Ownership: Private Founded: 1986 Employees: 124 CEO: Gene Cook III Website: coldjet.com Business: Manufacturer of dry ice cleaning and production equipment
It’s no wonder that Cold Jet earned Cincy Magazine’s MANNY Award for top growth. It’s one of the company’s key priorities. “Everything we do is designed to the grow th of the company,” says Tyson Marlowe, director of global business development strategy, food & beverage at Cold Jet. “It doesn’t matter if you’re in product
development, marketing, human resources—it’s part of who we are,” he says. “And we’re good at it.” Cold Jet’s revenue has grown more than 87% in the last five years. Gross revenue for 2018 was $81 million. “I’ve been with the company since 2003 and we’ve grown every single year,” says Marlowe. That growth in revenue has translated to an exponential growth in Cold Jet’s workforce. Nine jobs were created in 2018 and 101 jobs have been created in the last five years. That growth in jobs is expected to continue in 2019. “One of the reasons we have achieved growth year after year is we have a diversified customer base,” says Marlowe. – ES
With a growth rate of 208% over the last five years, it’s no wonder Elite Biomedical Solutions is a winner in this year’s Top Growth category. “We’ve built a reputation of quality, so our customers know that they are going to receive safe, accurate, reliable products on time, any time, and because of that reputation, our sales have grown consistently and
significantly upward in the double digits since the company’s inception [in] 2012,” says Susan McClure, controller and director of human resources for the distributor and manufacturer of medical device parts. During the past five years, the company has increased its gross revenue by $9.5 million and created 33 new jobs. However, the company has no plans to slow down. “We plan on continuing to release quality products. We’re also looking into going into different sectors where maybe we’ll provide engineering or provide manufacturing services to third parties,” adds McClure. - CM

BIGGEST BREAKTHROUGH
Batesville Products Inc.
Location: Lawrenceburg, Ind. Ownership: Private Founded: 1965 Employees: 85 President & COO: Len Weber Website: batesvilleproducts.com Business: Aluminum foundry and machine shop
The biggest breakthrough for Batesville Products Inc. started in 2017 when the company began working with Purdue University’s manufacturing extension service to create a new scheduling software algorithm. That software allowed the company to dramatically increase its productivity, including an increase in the amount of metal poured per hour from 27 pounds to 36
pounds, reducing scrap percentages from about 14 percent to an almost unheard of 5 percent and improving on-time delivery from about 80 percent to 100 percent. But another breakthrough in improving the production of its employees began recently when the company hired a dedicated life coach, through Workforce Connection, who works one on one with employees to help them reach their goals, says Tim Weber, vice president of sales. The company also works closely with employee hiring through second chance initiatives such as Beacon of Hope, Cincinnati Works and Dearborn County Community Court Service, he says. The combination of a life coach and the support of second chance initiative organizations helps Batesville Products Inc. give its employees a second chance at becoming successful, contributing members of society, says Weber. – ES

Advanced Manufacturing Industry Partnership Ownership: Nonprofit Founded: 2008 Members: 298 President: Amy Meyer, vice president of corporate development at Rhinestahl Business: Collaborative group of manufacturing employers, educators and community agencies working together to address workforce pipeline issues
The Advanced Manufacturing Industry Partnership’s breakthrough this past year wasn’t technological—instead, it’s focused on people. The partnership, which is funded and led by Partners for a Competitive Workforce, was created to help local manufacturers
address the skills gap, particularly with the next generation of workers. Last year during October, the partnership reached out to current students with its “What’s So Cool Abut Manufacturing?” video contest—it reached 7,500 students, parents and teachers in the Tristate. Teams of middle school students were encouraged to create videos about manufacturing that were then voted on and viewed by other students. In addition, more than 50 manufacturers hosted over 4,500 students during that month, giving them an exposure to manufacturing. According to the nomination form, these initiatives collectively impacted 11,500 parents, teachers and students in the region. – CM
