As a young engineer at Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) in Jackson, TN, I was eager to make an impact. One of my earliest challenges was tackling lubrication Preventative Maintenance (PM) processes—a critical yet often overlooked aspect of plant operations. It didn’t take long to realize just how overwhelming this task was for maintenance teams and how much room there was for improvement. This experience planted the seed for what would eventually become GreaseTech.
