Mannington Mills, Inc.

One way we put Mannington Mills’ “Care” core value into practice is by taking time to learn about our colleagues. We asked Jason Hair, Vice President of Sales—Strategic Accounts to share some things about himself. Here’s what he said… •First job, and what you learned?  As a territory manager for Beaulieu. I couldn’t believe they paid me to do that job. I loved it. I knew then I wanted to be in sales for the rest of my working life. •Most important life lesson you learned growing up?   Treat everyone the same way you want to be treated. •Favorite sports team?   The Braves. I grew up around Atlanta sports and every night the Braves were on TV, we would watch them as a family. •Talent you have that others may not know about?   I coach high school football when I’m not traveling. •What’s the coolest thing about your pet? Duke, my Golden Retriever, thinks he is one of the kids (with apologies to my son, Thomas!). •Weekends find you…  Fishing on the lake I live on. •What you like most about your job?  The people—the people I work with, and our customers. I’ve had friends from this industry for 30 years. I believe that it’s the people who makes our industry one of the greatest. •What do you love most about working at Mannington (other than the people)?   Our core values. They are the barometer that guides our company. •”Truth” you live by at work and home?   Do what is right, even when it hurts. #Flooring #GreatAssociates #CoreValues #CompanyYouKeep

Each year around this time, we anticipate the arrival of the purple martins who fly from their South American winter digs to our corporate headquarters in Salem, NJ. But they’re more than just adorable little visitors - they serve a practical purpose, too. They feast on bugs and help reduce our insect population in an eco-friendly way. Recently, Ruth Hess, Environmental Specialist, and Bruny Cardoso, Safety, Health & Environment Executive Administrator, did their first “house check” of the season and found 39 nests. In the next few weeks we’re hoping to see some eggs, too, followed by lots of baby birds! #Flooring #PurpleMartins #EcoFriendlySolutions

In recognition of their dedication to local community service, Mannington Mills has awarded “Stand on A Better World” scholarships to two New Jersey graduating seniors—Autumn Foote and Ruby Hassler. This scholarship program, now in its 18th year, is fully funded by donations from Mannington Mills Salem site associates. Two scholarships are offered—one to the child of a Salem-site Mannington associate and one to a Salem County high school student. Autumn is the daughter of Casey Maxwell and Matt Foote, Mannington QC Mix Operator, and is is the scholarship recipient in the “Mannington Mills” category. She’s a graduate of Salem High School and will attend Stockton University in Galloway, NJ, in the fall. Autumn strives to be a good role model for children, and has volunteered for a variety of youth-focused community projects, including Salem County Field Hockey Camp and an annual holiday toy drive by LIV Like a Unicorn, a nonprofit that raises funds for pediatric cancer and collects toys for kids going through cancer treatments at local hospitals. Ruby is the daughter of Crystal and Thomas Hassler, and is the scholarship recipient in the “Salem County” category. She’s a graduate of Pennsville Memorial High School and will attend Towson University in Towson, Maryland, this fall. Ruby’s volunteer focus has been diverse. She’s helped kindergarteners and first graders learn about swim safety through a Rotary Club event called “Interact Josh the Otter;” taught basic baseball skills to people with disabilities in the Challenger Little and Adult Baseball Leagues, and assisted at the Rotary Club’s annual holiday luncheon at Pennsville Towers’ senior citizens home. “We’re proud to recognize Autumn and Ruby for their commitment to serving others, which reflects two of our company’s core values—‘Care’ and ‘Do the Right Thing,’” said Zachary Zehner, Mannington Mills Executive Chairman of the Board. “These students exemplify how we can all make the world a better place by lending a helping hand in our local communities. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors, both academically and throughout their careers.” We are so proud of Autumn and Ruby. Please join us in congratulating them! #Flooring #GreatStudents #Scholarships #CommunityService #FutureLeaders #Care #DoTheRightThing

As companies worldwide prepare to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day on Sunday, June 23, we’re turning the spotlight on to Mannington Mills’ women engineers and engineering interns. Recently, we asked three of them what they like most about what they do… Rachel McFry, Mannington Commercial Sr. R&D Engineer: “My journey to become an engineer started at a young age. I’ve always had a love for problem solving and innovation fueled by a strong foundation in math and science. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of tackling diverse projects across the flooring industry spanning from sustainability initiatives to new product development. What I enjoy the most about being an engineer is the opportunity to make a visible difference, whether that be improving manufacturing processes or developing technologies. I thrive on the challenge of finding creative solutions to complex problems and the satisfaction of seeing those solutions come to fruition. Engineering offers the chance to contribute to something greater than myself and leave a lasting impact on the world. That impact is what makes my role truly fulfilling.” Megan Grantham, Mannington Commercial R&D Engineering Intern: “I am currently attending Kennesaw State University where I just completed my junior year. I will graduate in May 2025 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. This is my second summer here at Mannington as an R&D Engineering Intern, and my favorite thing about being an engineer is problem solving and the high levels of math I get to use.” Campbell Zehner, Mannington Commercial R&D Engineering Intern: “I am going into my junior year at Vanderbilt University studying Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Sustainability and Environmental Engineering. Initially, I was interested the field of engineering because of its seemingly endless opportunities and technical approach to problem solving; now, I have come to appreciate the butterfly affect engineering projects have on social and economic development. My favorite thing about engineering is the hands-on testing that is part of my day-to-day tasks, making me eager to continue learning and contributing to the company’s goals.” Now in its 11th year, International Women in Engineering Day raises awareness about the impact of women in this field. For centuries, they've had essential roles as designers and builders of structures and machines, yet their stories are not well-known. For example, did you know that engineer Ada Lovelace collaborated with Charles Babbage to design the first computer program in the world? Engineering is still a male-dominated field but women like Rachel, Megan, and Campbell are helping change that. We value their passion and talent, and are glad they’re part of the Mannington family. #flooring #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #STEMforWomen #GreatAssociates #GreatInterns
