MEET FRANKIE KRAVA, PUNCH PRESS OPERATOR

    Frankie Krava joined the Buckeye team in 2019 and works as a punch press operator. Kindhearted, eager, and relentless, Frankie is a force to be reckoned with. She enjoys the challenge her job provides along with the consistency each day brings. Read along as Frankie shares more about herself and her experience at Buckeye Industries. 


    Frankie was inspired by her great aunt, Janet Thomascik, to join the team at Buckeye. Janet was an employee for 26 years and was an integral part of Buckeye’s customer service department. Frankie’s story with the company began as she was visiting her aunt one day to pick something up. She was then courted by an individual to see if she wanted a job. After talking with Jan, she decided it would be a good fit, and the rest is history. 


    A punch press operator in manufacturing is responsible for operating a punch press machine, which is used to shape, cut, or form materials, typically metal, into specific designs or parts. They are also responsible for the following:

    • Machine Operation: Set up and operate punch press machines according to production specifications. This includes loading materials, adjusting settings, and monitoring the machine during operation.

    • Quality Control: Inspect finished products to ensure they meet quality standards. This involves checking dimensions, shapes, and overall quality using measuring tools.

    • Troubleshooting: Identify and resolve any issues that arise during the punching process, such as misalignments or mechanical failures.

    • Attention to Detail: Ability to focus on small details to ensure high-quality output.

    • Mathematical Skills: Basic math skills for measurements and calculations.

    Currently, Frankie is responsible for the production of Buckeye’s PN/PNZ and SN/SNZ series parts. This is PN/SN low carbon/ pnz/snz stainless steel.

    Frankie works hard each week to meet various deadlines. She is a hard worker who strives to do her best each day. To newer employees who are just starting out, Frankie says “Trust your gut and not word of mouth.” She also encourages others to ask all of the questions about their stock investments. 


    When she’s not working, Frankie loves to cook, bake, read, and paint. Not many people know that she has a passion for poetry and enjoys writing it. Her favorite food is Italian wedding soup. Her favorite celebrities are Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. She doesn't like sports. If she could swap lives with a cartoon character, it would be Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. This is a character in a Japanese animation that has a magical existence. She admires that Totoro lives peacefully and is deeply connected to nature. The cartoon also has iconic adventures that bring joy and protection to those around him. Thank you, Frankie, for all that you do for this company! We are so grateful for you!
