Success Story: Remmey – The Pallet Company Trains Manufacturing Supervisors to Effectively Support Company Culture and Increase Operational Efficiency

Remmey – The Pallet Company, located in Beaver Springs, PA, is a privately held pallet design and manufacturing company with approximately 114 employees. For more than 70 years, Remmey has served the region’s shipping and logistics needs by producing high-quality pallets using both new lumber and recycled materials. The company remains committed to exceptional customer service and superior product quality.

In late 2025, Controller Tammy Bubb identified a need to strengthen leadership capabilities among Remmey manufacturing supervisors. Organizational changes, including the introduction of new managers and a shifting workforce demographic, highlighted gaps in supervisors’ ability to effectively engage and connect with their teams. While Remmey had already initiated an internal development program, the company recognized the value of supplementing these efforts with external expertise to ensure a consistent, sitewide approach to front-line leadership effectiveness.

Remmey partnered with IMC to deliver a comprehensive Supervisor Effectiveness Training program tailored to its manufacturing environment. The training focused on equipping front-line leaders with critical skills and insights like distinguishing the differences between supervisor, manager, and leader; enhancing communication and active listening techniques; approaching workplace conflict constructively; understanding generational differences within the workforce; improving effective engagement; and developing coaching and mentoring capabilities to maximize team performance.

Through this initiative, manufacturing supervisors gained a stronger understanding of effective leadership practices and practical tools to apply in their daily roles. As a result, supervisors have demonstrated improved engagement with their teams, fostered more positive workplace relationships, and contributed to enhanced operational efficiency.

Testimonial:

“The IMC Supervisor Effectiveness Training exceeded our expectations and provided valuable tools that supervisors can immediately apply in the workplace. The sessions were engaging, relevant, and challenged participants to think differently about communication, coaching, employee engagement, and leadership. The training helped create a stronger foundation for leadership development within our organization and reinforced the importance of working together to achieve common goals. We appreciate IMC’s expertise and look forward to continuing our leadership development journey through future programs.”

Examining Global Talent Trends and Modern Workforce Technologies in Manufacturing

What does the future hold, and are we ready for it? According to Mercer’s 2019 Global Talent Trends Study, nearly three-quarters (73%) of executives predict significant disruption in the next three years, compared to 26% in 2018, and nearly all organizations are taking action to prepare for the future of work.

To remain competitive, manufacturers must stay current with trends and implement new programs and policies to adapt to evolving workforce demands. Offering flexible work options, applying AI in HR strategies, and leveraging automated scheduling technologies are just a few ways manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve.

This webinar will discuss how global talent trends shed light on the expectations of the modern workforce and how manufacturers can utilize technology to support the evolving landscape.

During this webinar, you will:

  • Learn about key global talent trends from Mercer and changing workforce expectations
  • Gain insight into how manufacturers can implement new technologies to respond to current trends
  • Hear from Kellogg Company on how automated scheduling technology has positively impacted plant operations, increased productivity, and employee engagement

Driving Operational Excellence Through Your Front Line

“The manufacturers who will succeed are not the ones who work harder, but the ones whose frontlines can learn faster and work smarter.”

In the smart, connected and digital world where organizations are collecting mountains of information, manufacturing and supply chain leaders are harnessing the power of big data to make strategic decisions that drive their business forward. These data-driven decisions are enabling organizations to transform everything from their products to their processes and production models. But there’s still an enormous opportunity that remains largely untapped: their people.

The reason for this is two-fold: Firstly, traditional training programs don’t engage employees or drive the kind of participation rates needed to impact change. And secondly, they don’t capture the kind of information and insights around frontline knowledge and behaviors required to make informed business decisions. What’s more, these traditional training programs can’t keep up with the pace of digital operations, which means frontline knowledge and skills quickly become irrelevant or obsolete and employees fall behind.

Join Carol Leaman (CEO of Axonify) on Thursday, June 13th from 2 – 3 pm EDT as she discusses how leading manufacturers are adopting a smarter, modern approach to training to drive operational excellence through their people. She will also explore how:

  • Engaging your frontline with adaptive and personalized training drives improvements in quality, productivity and performance
  • Microlearning enables you to make data-based training decisions that drive the right behaviors and positively impact business performance
  • Organizations are using microlearning in the real world to drive operational excellence

How Manufacturers Can Win in a Digital World

Doing digital right doesn’t mean you need to become the next Amazon, Netflix or Google — or even the next Pitney-Bowes, whose shift to digital has reinvented the company. But it does mean you may need to change your ways to maximize the potential to drive business. You may think there are obstacles. But it’s not money. It’s not lack of time. It’s not lack of resources. It’s you. It’s your mindset about digital strategy. It’s time to fill the gaps — and make those aspirations a reality. Let go of your fears and let’s get started.

PwC’s recent Digital IQ report reflects insights from over 2000 respondents in over 60 countries. Over 60% work in companies with revenues of $1 million or greater. Join this webinar to explore the four areas you must master to digitally succeed.

EXPERIENCE
You might be a digital poser. Time to face it. Companies say they’re digital, but many aren’t investing and behaving digitally. Time to face reality. Stop pretending and start changing.

DISRUPTION
Disruption surrounds you. Time to take control. Only 31% of companies say digital disruption is a threat to their business. They’re wrong. But it’s not too late.

LEADERSHIP
Help wanted: Real digital leaders.  Your team has more digital know-how than you do. That’s a problem. You need more knowledge and new ways of managing to succeed.

WORKFORCE
You’ve got a skills gap. Not the one you think.  There’s a disconnect between the skills and technologies that companies say matter most and what they’re investing in. More than half don’t even have a structure for delivering training.

You may be on the journey to digitization, but where exactly are you going?  Respondents to the survey selected one of four goals they say their companies aspire to accomplish with digital. We’ll explore these goals to help you frame them to your own company’s strategy.

  • Refiners plan to redefine their business model and change how they operate
  • Efficiency seekers focus on increasing speed and efficiency
  • Modernizers looks to update and improve on what they already do
  • Industry Leaders aim to break new ground in another industry – or even their own

So how do you get there? The steps are clear and we’ll wrap up the seminar by taking you through them.

  1. Upskill your workforce. Change how people think and contribute to drive growth and innovation, within.
  2. Build a best-in-class marketing and sales system. Ensure you have an easy understanding of the customer, resulting in the best experience.
  3. Provide customers with the best experience post-sale
  4. Create efficiencies, save money and make smart decisions through data & analytics, and AI.
  5. Add new revenue streams. Build new business models through subscription services.
  6. Secure data. Move data to the cloud in a timely way.

Webinar: The Servitization Revolution in Industrial Manufacturing

Engineering & Manufacturing (E&M) companies are advancing their business models to focus more on providing services and capability to their customers, a practice known as “servitization.” As core markets are becoming increasingly saturated, and product margins are under pressure, companies are aligning their supply chain strategies to meet their customers’ heightened expectations.

Service type activities already make up from one-third to more than one-half of manufacturing employment in some industries. And in today’s marketplace, more and more companies are offering after-market services or complete solutions that are closely coupled to the manufacturer’s products.

While having a digital strategy is important for any manufacturer today, that’s only half the story. There is a huge shift towards the consumption of services over the consumption of products, and it’s this combination of digital pressures and demand for services that is bringing about a revolution in industrial manufacturing.

DHL’s Engineering & Manufacturing sector and The Advanced Services Group have created a white paper series focused on this shift in business models, and in this webinar you’ll hear from several experts who will discuss servitization in the context of value networks as well as supply chain strategies and its impact on E&M industries. You’ll also hear a best practice case study that will shine a light on the transformational change process – from strategy articulation to process definition and decision enablement.
