Proudly Working Together to Produce High Quality Products

“For the time I have been fortunate to lead Torreón, I have had the pleasure of working with great people; colleagues committed to making their work safe every day, striving always for quality, and focused on meeting the customer needs and expectations,” said Torreón Facility Manager Greg Garza. “Thanks to our employees for their dedication and to their families for being the day-to-day support of our employees’ efforts.”
The 1,300 employees and their families are proud to work together to manufacture the highest quality products while always making safety their top priority.
