    COMPANY INFO

    Erin Jozwowski | Continuous Improvement Leader

    Age: 26

    Years at Kapco: 4

    Education/Certification: UW Platteville, industrial engineering degree

    What do you do on a day-to-day basis? Our program trains the Kapco workforce in Lean Six Sigma (Blue and Green belts) and mentors project teams to apply these tools in solving problems and completing projects.

    How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path? I’m now a continuous improvement leader, but I started as an industrial engineering intern, later supporting process documentation at our paint company. I’ve held several roles across departments, growing through each opportunity in industrial and manufacturing engineering along the way.

    What is the best part about your job? The best part of my job is collaborating with people across the organization to solve problems and seeing project teams use problem-solving tools to make meaningful improvements in their daily work.

    “In manufacturing, you’re not just solving problems—you’re driving progress. Every improvement we make strengthens the team, the process, and our product.”

    Carl Rydell | Stamping Engineer

    Age: 28

    Years at Kapco: 4.5

    Education/Certification: Oregon State Univ, Bachelor of Science, mfg & industrial engineering

    What do you do on a day-to-day basis? I support production by solving problems, improving processes, and designing better, safer, and more efficient ways for our people to work and our products to succeed.

    How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path? I interned in manufacturing during college. I moved to Wisconsin in 2020 and landed an interview through a family connection. I had no stamping experience, but Kapco gave me a chance and has taught me everything I know about stamping.

    What is the best part about your job? I enjoy working with different people across the company on a wide range of projects. I like seeing ideas grow from concept to implementation- designing, fabrication, troubleshooting, and more. Every step keeps the work interesting and meaningful.

    “Every day in manufacturing brings something new. It’s hands-on, rewarding work with real growth opportunities—I’m proud of what we build together.”
