MRO Today - Terry Molnar

Terry Molnar
leadman, Flo-Tork Inc.

Frank Cerny, plant superintendant at Flo-Tork in Orrville, Ohio, penned Terry’s nomination. He wrote:

“We have a small shop (34 plant-floor employees), but it’s a shop full of heroes. These are people who work long hours just because the job needs to get done and they want to give customers what they need. Terry Molnar stands out from all of our other heroes.

“Flo-Tork makes specialty actuators. Our biggest customer is Electric Boat/Newport News Shipyards. Recently, the subyard asked our boss if we could finish a long-term project in a very short time. We presented the challenge to the people on the floor. With Mr. Molnar leading the discussion, we decided to split our first shift to start a second shift. Throughout the process, Terry worked with the foreman to help coordinate the work flow. He was in the middle of all the new tooling and was the leader of the people involved in all the new fixtures. Prior to all this, Terry had back surgery. He talked his doctor into letting him come back to work for the project. His dedication helped everyone get the job done.”
