Plant Manager ExChange Returns – New Topics, Fresh Perspectives, Stronger Connections

Great Conversations. Lasting Connections. A Ripple Effect Beyond the Event.

(One leader per site, please …)

Following two highly successful sessions in 2026, the Plant Manager ExChange returns in 2027, this time in Greenville, South Carolina!

This interactive forum brings manufacturing plant leaders together to openly discuss challenges, share proven practices, and learn from one another. Experienced table facilitators will guide small-group conversations focused on a fresh set of topics relevant to today’s manufacturing leaders.

We’re pleased to welcome back Dale McClelland, Plant Manager at Timken – Tyger River, as moderator.

The OpExChange Ripple Effect

The true value of an ExChange doesn’t end when the event concludes. That’s where the OpExChange Ripple Effect begins.

A conversation can lead to a follow-up call. A shared challenge can lead to a plant visit. An idea from a fellow leader can become a lasting improvement at another facility.

We encourage participants to continue these conversations, strengthen their relationships, and collaborate long after the event.

What You’ll Gain

  • Fresh perspectives on common leadership and operational challenges
  • Practical ideas shared by fellow manufacturing leaders
  • Meaningful relationships with peers across the OpExChange network
  • Opportunities to collaborate well beyond the event

The event may last only a few hours. The relationships and ideas can have an impact for years to come.

Connect. Collaborate. Continue the Ripple Effect.
