Biographical Information
Mark A. Brady, Plant Engineer, Bridgestone APM Company P.O. Box 450, 235 Commerce Way, Upper Sandusky, Ohio 43351-0450 419-731-2241 Fax 419-294-3147 mabrady@bapm.Com Mark started his industrial career in 1978 with Guardian Automotive Glass in Upper Sandusky Ohio. He spent the majority of his time there in the maintenance department taking on various responsibilities. Plant power was one, including the operation of the primary sub-station that fed the plant. He always involved himself in special projects involving modernization, productivity and cost effectiveness. After fifteen years he decided to change automotive materials and started working with rubber at Bridgestone Auto Parts Manufacturing. Bridgestone APM has been his home for the last twenty-seven years, first in maintenance and the last ten years in the building aspect of things. His current responsibilities as plant engineer include the building, plant air, power, ventilation, lighting and equipment installation. All of these areas have lent themselves to energy saving projects in recent years thanks largely to the help and encouragement of AEP Ohio. The Grid-Smart program and CEI groups have helped greatly with ideas and direction on what can be done and how to get them implemented. As a corporation, we appreciate their help and experience for sustainability and progress in our goal to be more resource conscience in our production facilities. Andrew K.
