Magna Engineered Glass
Manufacturing company improves operations with real-time communications
The Company
Magna Engineered Glass employs over 600 employees in Holland, Michigan. This plant performs complex window assemblies in the area of hardware bonding and hardware assembly – a critical part of creating flush glass appearances in vehicles.
The Challenge
Nearly all employees at this plant lack company email, making it difficult for supervisors and company leaders to communicate. They also had challenges with excessive paperwork, cluttered bulletin boards, limited 2-way communication, and a bilingual workforce.
The Solution
Magna’s HR team confirmed that nearly all employees have smartphones (this is consistent with national trends – approx 90%+ of working-age US adults have a smartphone). They deployed Red e App’s platform and were able to streamline communication processes to their most disconnected workforce. These production workers now have real-time access to communications, are able to provide feedback to managers, and have offsite access to important benefits information, policies, and more.
