“It’s exciting to become part of an organization that has such a potential for growth and expansion. I am confident I will bring immediate value through my previous experience in engineering, operations and project management,” said Sheaffer.
Sheaffer brings direct management experience covering procurement, customer service, production operations, production planning/scheduling, distribution/fulfillment to the table. Sheaffer’s project management experience includes management of client programs for national accounts as well as direction of project coordination; he is also an expert in product development engineering.
“Seegrid will certainly benefit from Sheaffer’s expertise, success and leadership, as we continue to develop innovative solutions for warehouse management,” stated John Mazock, VP of Manufacturing.
The Seegrid hiring expansion was the natural and necessary progression, especially with respect to the recent partnerships with Raymond Corp. and Linde Material Handling.
