NOV/Dayton update........ Production manager fired 10-12-2016 really wasn't a "FAMILY" member to begin with. We work with constant threats and intimidation. 15 million has to be shipped by year end or ELSE changes WILL be made. Workers stood around for 4 months with no work now the clamp is tightened on us. Same person/s saying we're 24/7 facility is no where to be seen at 5am. Nor on Saturdays. Absolutely no respect for skills or tribal knowledge. Jobs have been cancelled due to poor delivery. Good people are doin the very best they can and it's never good enough. Just goes on and on and on
Reduction in work force to be announced tomorrow 9/9/2016 assembly & shaggy line more to come mgt. Staff on manufacturing floor to be reduced as well winter is coming Early!!!
OK
Thanks
Any educated guess as to when the Dayton plant may be closed?
Better come to grips with the fact the Henchmen King George is not at Chemineer to make friends. His job is closing plants down.
NOV/Dayton 32% on time shipping, been that way 2 years or better. How do you run out of fasteners, bolts, and eyebolts ? Have to "contract" out inspection services for gearboxes, Our inspection table junked, looking at new but return on investment would be 11 years. Good people leaving, no raises in 3 years, no T-shirts or hats to be worn on floor by salary personnel, Customers calling Management at HOME complaining about non-delivery of their product, now their calling all the way to the top to get action, sending or wanting to send blue collar people home due to lack of work. Kenics product line is rumored to be 2 1/2 months behind.
Give me a break. Loftis may have been chairman but he didn't swing that deal to be sold, the Murch children and Wallace did it. R&M couldn't be sold without those 2 parties as they controlled >50% of the shares.
Hello, Ex VP or anyone else that may be in the know.
What is your opinion of the future of the Chemineer manufacturing plant and office support in Dayton, Ohio?
If you didn't see this coming when Murch named Tom Loftis to the R&M board of directors, I gotta a bridge I'd like to sell ya'. Who and why would anyone put a commercial real estate salesman as the head of a manufacturing company unless they wanted to sell it. The word I get from ex-Mono people is that all Moyno parts except rotors and stators are coming from China. Good luck with the Chinese gear joint, boys. Can anyone remember the Centennial Line and why they changed the name to "2000"? Mono has no food grade products. So good luck getting 3A, FDA or USP class III elastomers. The word I get is that every WWT submittal comes with 50 Hz drives. All oilfield is going to Texas and all industrial is in Manchester or Shanghai. Maybe they'll rehire Loftis and then he can sell Manchester to Flowserve or Weir or Dover or SPX or ITT or some other group of blood-s---ers.
I have heard the assembly of pumps is being done in Houston. They say deliveries are horrible.
Big fat Norm Shearer finally marched out of the Chemineer office last week for the failures of not getting the Moyno plant closed on time. First of the Moyno union hating management to go wont be the last I hope.
Building has been well-maintained by Gary, who was let go last month . . . don't understand why Company discarded him. He was a hard worker with a heavy workload.
The cash grab on that building should be high, as it has an excellent location and has been well-maintained.
The writing was on the wall when they closed North Andover. Get it all under one roof, the move it. Too bad too - Dayton killed the Kenics/Greerco lines. They can't even get parts off a shelf & shipped. NOV now owns that building - they'll sell it for the cash grab for sure. Again, how does no one see this? Run!!!!!!!
Shut that taco stand down!!!!! Those people couldn't run a garage sale!!!! Rookies!!! Every place they ever worked at they put out of buissness!!!!! If Nov knew what was going on in Dayton Ohio they sure as hell wouldn't of put their LOGO on the building or the products!!!!!
I can't confirm that the rumors are true, but things are being put in place that would make it entirely possible.
It's sad, the senior management team has taken a group of successful companies, for which there WAS plenty of business for, and reduced it to a segment which customers only deal with begrudgingly. Names such as Moyno and Chemineer, which were indicative of quality and excellence are now completely muddled by the "NOV" brand which of late represents shoddy work and inability to deliver. Large orders are being cancelled daily because of horrendous lead times. Customers are rejecting shipments due to outright refusal of WLY's staff to live up to quality standards that the market was used to.
I still don't understand why the people who have destroyed these companies have not had to answer for it. They continue to fire the few who have a chance to turn this around, and never focus on the nepotistic idiots who are running the company into the ground. It's sad to see a successful group of companies who provided an income for so manys people be ran into the ground by inept and egotistical managers. Managers who have excelled on the F#%k Up Move Up plan.
I am out of this place, PEACE OUT.
I've got 42 years seniority at NOV/Chemineer Dayton. I and we have seen just about everything a factory worker can see in their career's. We used to do everything together Management and Union ie: bowling teams, softball league, all kinds of fundraisers for the indigent, bus loads of trips to the Reds' games, Company Picnics, you name it we did together in groups. Sure we had our differences but we worked them out and went on. Friends not there were begging us to get them hired, it was the place to work THEN. Fast forward to today, there is no way on GODS green earth I would suggest to a true friend to apply. I have never in my 42 years seen such a dysfunctional management team as this one. They just have no clue. We are NOT a production line, we are now and always have been an oversized job shop. Every customer's order is made specifically for that one customer no one else, and these people have no friggin clue
Ok why do you say Baytown or Pampa ? I'm a NOV employee and I was told 80% of Dayton Ohio mangament will be terminated by September 1st .. and if the mangament is gone so will be the problems .. Chemineer at one time was a 70 million dollar company and NOV wants it to come back to that and more ..
I just heard from a person in the "express" or aftermarket department that this is all true. They also said mixer production could move to the Brandt facility. I have been looking for to leave for a while. This place has the worst managers. I can only hope I leave soon!
And you will move your life to Texas? Why, aren't there jobs in Ohio where you friends and family are.
The only Moyno pump employees in Dayton are "office" employees . . . Where is the pump assembly currently being done?
Are any of the Dayton Ohio rumors about layoffs and moving of machinery to Texas relative to Chemineer mixers?
Baytown has the labor force, Pampa doesn't , they have a hard time getting good people to come there to work. Very bad reputation for lieing to workers & nepotism & bad working conditions.
Baytown??
It won't be Pampa it will somewhere else in Texas. But it is happening!
If that's true about moving to Pampa you are screwed. Pampa is the anus of NOV. Bad town & a run down plant.
They are moving all pump assembly to Pampa Tx. it's a real sh-- hole..
