Chris CampBendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has appointed Christopher Camp as plant manager of its Huntington, Ind., manufacturing campus.
A 26-year team member at Bendix Huntington, Camp served as the facility’s interim plant manager since May 2018.
“Chris is an experienced, highly knowledgeable leader who is committed to continuously improving our Huntington campus,” says Carlos Hungria, Bendix COO. “From his years of service, Chris has developed a deep understanding of the plant’s operations that is instrumental in directing improvement initiatives. We are confident he and his team will lead Huntington into the future as an innovative facility focused on meeting customer needs and continuing its robust business growth.”
Camp joined Bendix in 1992 as a production operator in Huntington before becoming a purchasing analyst nearly a decade later. After holding several progressive leadership responsibilities within Huntington’s manufacturing shift operations, Bendix says Camp was promoted to business unit manager/operations manager for remanufacturing in 2010. He stepped in as interim plant manager when Bendix moved previous Plant Manager Mike Pogorelc to a vice president role.
Camp’s broad, hands-on experience in all aspects of manufacturing, and his engaging leadership style, helped to transform Bendix’s Huntington-based remanufacturing operations for compressors, the company says. He was also critical in launching the new state-of-the-art Remanufacturing Shoe Center.
The Bendix Huntington campus, consisting of four manufacturing facilities, opened in February 1980 and includes manufacturing, remanufacturing, and assembly sites, as well as Bendix’s primary North American distribution center.
