The Awesome Women of Whip Mix's Manufacturing Team

Meet the women of Whip Mix’s Manufacturing Team!

Rebecca has been at Whip Mix for three years and has just recently become the Canning Lead.  In her position, she schedules production and assigns personnel in hand filling containers, assembling and labeling and powder packaging in a line operation. She also trains employees assigned to her area in the work assignment according to ISO procedures.

Rebecca enjoys reading fiction, playing video games, and spending time with her three furballs even if they don't always appreciate it.

Dawn Hausch: Senior Operator, Liquids/Wax Department

Dawn has been with Whip Mix for almost 19 years. She started in the furnace department in 2002 where she built the popular Jelrus burnout and Pro series porcelain furnace lines. She then moved on to become the Lead Person of the canning department. After 7 years of being a lead, she moved on to become a machine operator in the VBU department. Then, when a position became available in the Liquids/Wax department, she moved to that department and is now one of the Senior operators in the that department, where she makes and packages a variety of liquids and waxes for our customers.

Dawn’s hobbies outside of work are arts/crafts, fishing, and gardening. She loves being in the great outdoors.

Shari’s hobbies include reading and putting together jigsaw puzzles.
