DVIRC Executive Coaching Helps Metal Edge Improve Operations Performance and Staff Development
Metal Edge International is a packaging industry leader serving local, national, and multinational companies developing metal blades, profiles, slip-on blades, and other profile blade cutters.

Metal Edge has three production facilities, with their main manufacturing plant based out of North Wales, Pennsylvania.
In 2017, Metal Edge found itself prepared to better position its team for growth. Leadership wanted to implement company focus on cultural, leadership, and employee developments and operations improvement.
Through the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the company was challenged to re-energize its workforce and develop behaviors that would lead to improved morale and increased employee engagement to grow the business. Management recognized that to most effectively influence the company, these changes needed to come from leadership.
In a small to medium-sized enterprise, sometimes even the most senior manager, director, or owner needs a little support.
