The Traveling Salesman spends 10 minutes with Deanna Ellis
Traveling Salesman (TS): Deanna Ellis, your title is “Plant Manager of Elgin Fastener’s Telefast Division”. To my knowledge, in the fastener industry there are not a lot of female plant managers. But, you paid your dues and worked your way up to that position and have held this position for many years. But first, let’s travel back in time a bit. How did you first get into the fastener industry?
Deanna: When I started at Telefast, Jeff Ferry was the owner. I was introduced to Jeff Ferry by his brother.
