This edition of our Colleague Focus is centered on Mark Booth.

Mark is responsible for the scheduling of our manufacturing operations at our Virginia Plant, located in Dublin, which has compression molding and finishing capabilities. In the role as Scheduler, Mark has responsibilities for 34 presses and nearly 700 part numbers. Mark has been a member of the Mar-Bal Virginia Plant for over 5 1/2 years. Mark mentioned that his favorite part of Mar-Bal is “I enjoy working with the people”. Also, when asked about his proudest moment at Mar-Bal, Mark said, “When I became a Scheduler.”

When the question about how Mar-Bal helped him with his career development, Mark responded, “I worked 31 years in the rubber business and it is a big change from rubber mixing to molding parts – but I learn something new daily.”
