Duramatic Products
"Employee of the Quarter"
April 2019-;
Marquette “Boo Boo” Berry is the Duramatic Employee of the Quarter for 2nd Quarter, FY 2019.
“Boo Boo” hails from Glennville, Georgia. He has been an employee of Duramatic for over 17 years, and currently works in the Heat Treat Department. Throughout his time here at Duramatic, Marquette has always been very quick learner, and eager to take on more responsibilities within his department. He always makes for an excellent team member, and can be counted on to help in other departments when the need arises. Marquette is committed to the goals set forth by Duramatic Products- to safely deliver a quality product that enhances the customer experience.
“Boo Boo has been a big reason behind our continued success”, says Dale Thomas, Berry’s supervisor. “He constantly maintains high production rates, and tries to find ways to improve himself, and find ways to help make the company better, every day”. Marquette was recently selected to move to the night shift as a Lead Man, which brings with it some added responsibilities- not only producing product, but setting up machinery and equipment to run. Not only did Marquette volunteer for it, but once in that position, has thrived at it. He has become an example that the newer operators can look to, both as an example to follow, and as a source for information and institutional knowledge.
From everyone here at Duramatic, a hearty congratulations goes out to Marquette “Boo Boo” Berry on a job well done!
