Versa Pak employee spotlight Heath Yohey

Share

Say hello to another new face at Versa Pak, Heath Yohey! Heath recently joined our team as a process engineer. We spoke to him about his new role, career, and life at Versa Pak.

A Culture of Fun and Family

Prior to joining Versa Pak, Heath spent many years with Novolex, most recently in the role of Technical Specialist. He saw a lot of potential here and was eager to be part of a growing team. 

“I’ve learned that working for a small company is really where I want to be,” he shared. “The plastics industry is a very small world, but working for a family-owned and operated company is world class.”

One of the things Heath appreciates most about Versa Pak is the feeling of family. 

“You don’t get that at a large company,” he said. “Versa Pak made me feel very comfortable from day one.”

Overseeing 5-Layer Engineered Films

As a process engineer, Heath is responsible for the design, optimization, and oversight of our five-layer engineered films. While there’s hardly a typical day in the plastics industry, his work usually includes:

  • Designing, developing, and refining efficient processes for our five-layer films
  • Identifying areas to reduce waste, increase productivity, and improve engineered film quality
  • Troubleshooting any issues that might arise during film manufacturing

Heath describes himself as a ‘happy guy by nature’, and loves to see people grow and learn. As an industry veteran, it’s no surprise that his favorite part about working here is watching his team learn new things and apply them to their roles. 

“I look forward to growing with this team and to many years of success,” he said.

Out and About

When he’s not focused on process engineering, you can probably find Heath watching football or mixed martial arts. And, on nice days, he also enjoys sharing his love of fishing with his grandkids.
