Ronnie Kent celebrated 25 years of service on May 1. Kent joined Crawford in 1995 as a material handler. He was extrusion utility or otherwise known as hopper jockey, for the extrusion lines until 1997.
He moved into an extruder operator position in 1997 and held that role until 2019 when he became a lead extruder operator. Kent has been a lead operator for both off shifts at one time or another. His flexibility and guidance for the extrusion department on these off shifts is extremely important to the department’s success.
Kent and his wife Karen live in Marshall and they have a daughter, Sharon Kent, and a grandson, Justin Kent. He enjoys football when he isn’t working.
