Zach Orvis & Mike Medema
How do two men, hired to keep machines running in a sugar processing plant, become technology innovators? Two words: freedom and training. American Crystal Sugar Company processes sugar for top brands like Hershey’s, Kraft, and Kellogg’s. In this high-stakes environment, innovation drives opportunity.
Moorhead Packaging Technicians Mike Medema and Zack Orvis are turning routine repairs into game-changing technology solutions, starting with automating a long-time manual process. That was just the beginning. With leadership support and a drive to learn, they tap into extensive training opportunities, gaining the know-how to lead meaningful operational change. Their knack for listening to coworkers and identifying critical fixes has made work smoother, safer, and more rewarding.
At American Crystal, innovation isn’t reserved for a few—it’s built into the culture. And that same opportunity is there for anyone ready to grab it.
