Jim Weido, VEKA Production Manager, is retiring after 30 years with VEKA and more than a decade managing our extrusion production. Jim has left an indelible mark on VEKA Inc. Few people know the exceptional level of caring and team building that Jim brought to VEKA. Chris Tulley, VEKA Director of Operations, shared, “I've had the privilege of working with Jim for about a decade, and I can't tell you how much he cares for the people here.” The amount of time, effort, and energy Jim has put into caring for his team and all of us at VEKA is truly amazing. Joe Peilert, VEKA President and CEO, remarked, “Jim is one of those guys who defined who we are today and one of the major pillars of what we've created together. Without guys like Jim, it wouldn't have happened.” We wish Jim the very best in his retirement. We are pleased to announce that Dan Baker will succeed Jim as Extrusion Production Manager. Dan’s outstanding 35-year career at VEKA speaks for itself. Starting Wednesday, May 29, Dan will lead the extrusion group, focusing on building, training, and empowering our frontline Extrusion Production Team. He will continue to work closely with other departments to safely manufacture our extrusions with a focus on success for our customers and VEKA. Congratulations, Dan, on your promotion to Extrusion Production Manager!
Congrats, Jim! Enjoy your retirement!
Enjoy life Jim!
Congrats Dan!
