Our Rock Star award honors ECG employees who demonstrate a sustained high level of performance and inspire others. This month we honor Constantino Ramirez Blanco – better known to everyone around here as “Tino.”

Tino joined our work force 17 years ago. Production supervisor Greg Mandel confirms, “His experience shows every single day. This guy is a machine!”

Tino has worked mostly in grass production, but because he’s so fast and reliable, he’s frequently assigned to tasks in other areas.

“Digging field stock, dividing grasses, poly covering – the list is endless,” said Greg. And he really shines when rapid, accurate production absolutely must be done right, and done right now.

“Emergency TC shipments, sticking sensitive varieties… he can produce double and triple units to other crew members, consistently. He is the go-to production guy when you need something done properly and in a timely manner.”

In short, said Greg, “Tino is an extremely valuable asset to myself and the company.”

Congratulations, Tino, and thank you for your reliable high-volume, high-quality output. You rock!
