About Darin Fink

I worked for ITW for 15 years and have had the good fortune to contribute in a number of roles. The different positions I've held have given me an incredibly diverse set of experiences. I started as a Process Engineer for ITW Fastex. Our GM soon acquired a company and I found myself managing that division in Albany, New York. After a two year long transition of manufacturing back to Fastex, I returned as the Operations Manager for a sister division, ITW Jemco. My primary role was managing Jemco's two Maquilladoras in Juarez, MX. When global responsibilities were given to an Executive at ITW, I was asked if I would take on a two year assignment in Milan, Italy. Being recently married and without kids, my wife and I jumped on the opportunity. Then it was back to the USA where I spent time as a Sales Account Manager, Operations Manager and most recently, Business Unit Manager for ITW Trans Tech. You can read more details in my attached resume.

    MET Plastics specializes in molding and assembling high-end critical components for the medical and aerospace industries. Annual production can range from 100 to 100,000 pieces. In this high mix, low volume environment, my role is to keep everything on track. With short runs, there's not a lot of part data, as a result I'm focused on the PROCESSES. Whether it's running in our clean room, heat staking, insert molding, sonic welding, there's a process that can be optimized in every area.
  • Itw Trans Tech
    Business Unit Manager
    Itw Trans Tech Jan 2011 - May 2012
    Carol Steam, Illinois, Us
    As the Business Unit Manager, I had complete P & L responsibility for a $12,000,000 business and oversaw all manufacturing operations, customer service, inside sales, logistics, quality assurance, art department, product decoration, consumable sales, procurement, annual plan and long range plan. This was a challenging opportunity, the position had been vacant for some time and as a result, the foxes ran the hen house. After a few months of assessing talent and skills, I put the right people in the right positions and the Business turned around quickly. Sales, variable margin, operating income and morale improved dramatically.Key

    Project Manager
    Itw Fastex Italia 2003 - 2005
    Our facility in Turin was shared with an Automotive division of ITW. When the automotive division relocated to the Czech Republic, I was assigned to insource manufacturing to either Turin, Italy or Eastern Europe. Being the "New Guy" in a foreign country with a huge project in front of you isn't the easiest job in the world. After a short period of time, my approachable nature opened doors to the intellectual talent and resources I would need to complete my project. When I started, I felt like a fish out of water, when I left, I felt like I was leaving family behind.Key

The business culture is Mexico is not the same as the United States. Understanding the culture and environment reduced turnover by 10%.Key
