One-On-One With Valpak's David Fox

As we were ramping down the volume at that plant and ramping up the other plants' volume, we were also retraining that workforce to produce the new product. So, literally, when a group finished our product, the next week they began working on the new company's product--and it wasn't a slow transition at all since the new company was eager to ramp up to full production quickly. So the overall migration of work was tricky--an added factor we had to manage as part of the overall transition. The fact that we were able to preserve those jobs and keep our employees working throughout the transition was a real home run.
