HE’S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

After a four-year absence, we are pleased to welcome back a valuable member of our company’s family.

Michael Webb has returned as Manufacturing/Project Engineer. In his new position, Webb plans, develops and conducts studies relating to the improvement of equipment productivity, process capability, material handling, methods and process improvement, and building projects. And he leads new equipment research, justification, design, acquisition and implementation as directed by our Vice-President of Ice Cream Production, Cathy Nobriga Kim.
From

2003 to 2005, Webb held the position of Plant Engineer here at Roselani Ice Cream. He then returned to his home state of Vermont and two-and-a-half years at Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Ice Cream Company headquarters and a year-and-a-half at General Electric Aviation.

Employment in Vermont has fallen off like much of the rest of the country, so good opportunities are hard to find. When I found that Maui Soda/Roselani were willing to take me back into their ohana, there wasn’t too much to think about.   Winters in Vermont  on one hand or  Living on Maui  on the other. Being back here allows me to apply all that I had learned about ice cream in my 11+ years at Ben & Jerry’s to the processes and equipment at Roselani. My goals, as they were before, are to make Roselani more profitable, more efficient and innovative now and into the future, says Webb.

Before first arriving on Maui in 2003, Webb was already a nine-year veteran of Ben & Jerry’s. Now, he brings a total of almost 30 years of engineering and maintenance experience to his new position at Roselani Ice Cream. During his previous tenure, he oversaw the installation of Roselani’s upgraded automatic ice cream filler, an advance that increased the plant’s production efficiency to meet sales growth.

Webb lives in Kihei with his wife and son.  See the story in the Pacific Business News from 11/2/09
