Many times, the best stories come straight from the source. Co-workers at Armstrong World Industries’ plant in South Gate, Calif., had this to say about Michael Orozco on his All-Pro Team nomination form:

“Mike has been instrumental to the manufacturing success of the Residential Tile Line. Over the past 4 1/2 years, he has led numerous production line equipment improvements. He led projects for installing new labeling applicators, inkjet systems and palletizing conveyors, and upgrading the bar-code scanners. In his biggest project to date, he served as the manager for the installation of a new stretch-wrap machine. For this project, he researched and sourced the best possible machine, wrote the appropriation for the funds and did most of the electrical installation.

“Mike also had a big impact on a three-phase installation for improving the tile manufactured at South Gate. This involved upgrading to a three-axis servo system, variable-speed drives, touch screens and a programmable logic controller. Mike’s dedication, attitude and desire greatly impact the tile-making process at our plant.”
