Monroe Truck Equipment, Monroe, WI, recently hosted a visitor from Russia who spent three days shadowing a variety of employees from different areas of the company in manufacturing, sales, accounting and purchasing. Boris Schepkin is the deputy director on economics and finance at OCNA3, a manufacturer in Oryol, Russia.

While in Monroe, he spent considerable time with Monroe Snow & Ice Control manufacturing Foremen Kevin Davis and John Hromadka who took time to show him American manufacturing methods and quality control procedures. Schepkin intends to use his new-found knowledge to improve manufacturing processes in his home plant and to promote more collaborative ventures between Russian and American companies.
