Journey
I started down this path almost 16 years ago when I was introduced to Fem care products like Panty Liners, Pads, Adult and Baby diapers when I became a temporary employee of Hospital Speciality in Nicholasville Kentucky in the year 2010. I was amazed with everything that went into making all the different products and came to love what I did in the company. After about 2 years I was able to be hired on full time as an operator 2. I took to learning all the different machines they had in the factory and being able to become an operator 1. Hospital Speciality ended up getting bought out by Albaad and I was asked to move to Reidsville NC in 2017 where they were planning on moving 8 machines there and I knew how to run most of them. Then a few years later Albaad got bought out by Ontex and started my career helping them get there machines up and running in the new facility in Stokesdale NC and have never looked back.
