Andre Karabedian
Andre has been coming up with great opportunities for improvements that will help us strengthen the Paramount and Torrance operations. His feedback has driven us to rework tooling to ensure that the next lot produced is welded with minimal fit-up time. Andre also has one of the most organized weld booths, which helps him to be extremely efficient. Thank you for your feedback, organization, and dedication Andre!
