Randy Feese Appointed Vice President of Operations for Garner Industries
(Lincoln, Nebraska—March 3, 2021) Randy Feese has been promoted to the position of Vice President of Operations for Garner Industries. This promotion is in recognition of Randy’s contributions since assuming the
position of plant manager for Garner in October of 2018.
Under Randy’s guidance Garner has continued to make operational improvements that have increased plant efficiency. Despite supply chain challenges and demands on the company to supply products to essential industries over the past year, Randy was able to lead efforts that improved plant-wide on-time delivery, optimized production processes, and reduced cycle times in the molding operation.
Wire EDM capabilities were also upgraded under Randy’s supervision with the 2020 addition of a new Charmilles CNC wire EDM machine with fully submerged five-axis machining for customers needing precision-cut custom metal parts. Mold tooling services have been expanded to accommodate the advanced tooling needs of new customers with offshore tooling managed by a Garner employee in Asia.
Even before joining Garner in 2016, Randy had extensive experience directing complex plastics manufacturing operations and managing quality-certified operations. Prior to working for Garner, Randy spent 15 years as plant manager for Opus Medication Systems in Omaha, Nebraska. His professional experience also includes six years at the global corporation Accuma, as plant manager of their Beatrice, Nebraska operation.
Randy joined Garner in March 2016 as project engineer to manage the design and installation of a large and complex injection molding work cell that incorporated three 500-ton presses, an automated gasketing operation, extensive use of robotics, the installation of three resin silos, and a pneumatic conveying system. Then in 2017, Randy was charged with supervising Garner’s 40,000 square-foot facility expansion and the relocation of the work cell he completed the previous year.
Randy remains responsible for all Garner’s plant manufacturing operations, including plastics molding, CNC, tooling, maintenance, safety, facilities, jobshop customer service, and supply chain management. Additionally, he oversees the manufacturing operation of the global BinMaster level sensor product line.
