ARCHBOLD, Ohio - WoodTrac by Sauder, a manufacturer of closet systems and wood drop ceilings, named Neal Gobrogge of Sauder Woodworking as its operations manager. Gobrogge will monitor daily activities, improve processes and implement the company's strategic plans.

For the past nine years, he has been working as a project manager in the New Product Development division working with customers such as Target, Office superstores and the Home Improvement Channel.

Also, among Gobrogge’s many roles within Sauder, over the years he has held the project manager title for IKEA, Sauder Funeral Products and WoodTrac. His experience as a trained Kaizen/Value Stream Map coach for the last 13 years will bring a lean focus to WoodTrac’s operations. Sauder is honored to promote one of its dedicated employees of more than three decades as the newest WoodTrac operations manager.
