Machinist celebrates 50 years of service at Milacron’s Southwest Ohio global headquarters.
Five decades of service to Milacron!
Hedge came to Milacron more than 50 years ago after a good friend’s father convinced him to leave his job at Hobart to join him at Milacron. He started as a Press Operator for the 100” drill presses in 1973.
Since then, he’s enjoyed various roles throughout the years from Bar Mill Operator to a Multi-Machine Operator. He admits to preferring third shift but is currently on second shift as a Boring Mill Machinist and still making the most of every day in the plant with lifelong co-workers he calls friends.
Family
Dave’s wife retired from Milacron about eight years ago after 22 years in circuit boards. They have two grown sons, four grandsons, one granddaughter, two great-grandsons, and two great-granddaughters. He loves spending time with the grandkids and great-grandkids!
Hobbies
Hedge uses his personal dump truck to haul gravel throughout his local community for those who need it for their driveways or parking lots. He also enjoys just being outside on his property in Lynchburg, Ohio.
Perspective
I owe everything I have in this life to Milacron. It’s provided well for my family through the years and supported me through some pretty tough times. Milacron has been a great place to work.
Thank you, Dave, for your dedicated service to Milacron. We appreciate you!
