Employee Spotlight for September
We Build the Best Security Products Because We Have the Best Team!
Vault Pro builds the highest quality safes, vault doors and walk in vaults, however, we couldn’t do it without our outstanding team members…they are the best!
When I say the best, I don’t just mean they show up to work on time and do their jobs…I mean they are the best. My team members are loving dedicated family members, intuitive thinkers, they are kind and generous and all-around good people, not to mention, they are fantastic at their jobs.
Many of the Vault Pro team members started with me when I started this company in my workshop. I was lucky enough to be able to pick who I wanted to work with, so I invited the best. Many of them believed in Vault Pro and to some degree in me. They believed in me and my crazy idea of building better safes and vault doors enough that they quit good paying jobs to work with me in my workshop, often at a lower wage then what they were making.
Two of our original team members, Omar and Juan both started with me, in my workshop. The team began engineering and prototyping over the top locking bolt systems that would surpass the strength and durability of every existing competitor. We set about to identify weaknesses in our competitors and build strength into our own. By analyzing existing doors and locking systems and their inherent flaws we discerned how to make possible the tightest tolerances between the door and body of any safe or vault door on the market. Using dual gasketed step-systems on both the body of the safe and the door proved to be tricky out of the gate due to the very tight tolerances we had developed, but once we had completed the engineering and prototyping, it became the standard for every high-end door we would build. This unique step-system also made both the door and body of the safes exponentially stronger and resistant to pry attack and fire.
Today in our manufacturing plant, Omar oversees construction of all our heaviest safes, vault doors and walk in vaults and is undeniably a master of his craft and trade. Omar is a very dedicated husband and father who is always willing to lend a hand. He is also the shops DJ. Omar’s music can be heard everywhere in the shop as well as in the offices. Omar is always wearing a smile, singing along while seamlessly manufacturing some of the highest quality security products available today.
Juan became a part owner of Vault Pro and is our shop foreman. Juan is by trade a welder; however, he takes on many different jobs and helps around the shop in every capacity imaginable. From one day to the next, there is no telling where you will find him lending his expertise. Juan is the ultimate chameleon. He is able and capable of every job we have in the shop and is also my personal quality assurance supervisor. We have developed a cut list and priorities system, which Juan supervises for the various workstations and sees to it that planning is accurate, and priorities are met. I don’t think Juan ever stops working. In the past year or two, when not at Vault Pro, I have watched him completely remodel his home for his wife. He truly believes in “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” Everyone at Vault Pro has benefitted from Juan’s patience and consistency.
Being the best and building the best, Vault Pro has challenged the established norm in the safe and vault industry and has become the best because of the people that I am proud to work with and call my friends…they truly are the best.
Sincerely,
Tony Darling
Vault Pro, CEO
