Xaloy COVID-19 Measures Honoured



Like much of the world, Asia has had its share of preventive measures to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including declaring states of emergency, restricting travel, locking down businesses and school and issuing stay-at-home orders. Now more than 22 months in, there seems to be a shift, but not necessarily an end in sight.


“It has been a tough year with the pandemic,” said Chew Yew Kwong, managing director for Xaloy, Asia. “With the economic downturn due to movement controls and global disruption with trade, it’s been a difficult time both socially and economically.”


As if the macro-economic impact and the social impact weren’t bad enough, the challenges were compounded by a virtually non-existent supply of the COVID-19 vaccine in some parts of Asia, according to Supalak Watcharapalakorn, Xaloy’s human resources manager for Asia.

For example, only about two dozen of the nearly 224 employees at the manufacturing plant in Chonburi, Thailand, were able to get a vaccine early on due to short supplies.


For Xaloy CEO Kamal Tiwari, it made sense from a business perspective and a humanitarian perspective. “Xaloy knows our people are an integral part of the company’s success,” Tiwari said. “We really value our employees and their safety is a top priority. Ensuring they had access to vaccines and could take care of their family’s health was important. We wanted them to know Xaloy cares about them, and that’s why we made the decision to be there with education, resources and support.”


So began the complex task of vaccinating the remaining workforce at the manufacturing plant in Chonburi, Thailand, in addition to dozens of subcontractors and family members. While options were limited to AstraZeneca and Sinopharm, both two-dose vaccines with efficacy rates of 62-74% and 79%, respectively, Watcharapalakorn said employees were grateful to just get some level of protection against COVID.


The Thai government took notice of Xaloy’s efforts, which were honored in November with the Integrated Happy Workplace Model’s “Role Model Enterprise for Healthy & Safety to be Decent Work” during COVID-19 crisis. Xaloy was one of just 35 organizations that received the award sponsored by the Ministry of Labor, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation and Burapha University.  

Xaloy names three to management team

Xaloy, a leading manufacturer of plasticizing components for injection and extrusion machinery in the global plastic processing industry, has named three people to key management positions.

Chris Shelton is the new vice president of global operations; Trudy Cheney, the new global human resources director; and Kevin Daniel, the new global information technology director.

Shelton joins Xaloy from Pacific Press Holdings, where he was president and CEO. He held similar positions in other manufacturing organizations, providing transformational leadership through expertise in Lean manufacturing, root-cause analysis and operational excellence.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University and his MBA from the University of Phoenix. His certifications include Six Sigma Black Belt, Machinist and Machine Repairman. At Xaloy, Shelton will lead all aspects of the manufacturing operations.

Cheney comes to Xaloy from Schneller LLC (Kent, Ohio) and Bruce Aerospace (Dayton, Nev.) where she was the HR director for these two aerospace manufacturing companies. She was a member of the leadership team and was responsible for the human resources function for multiple sites in the U.S., Singapore and France. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business management, with a concentration in organizational management from Malone University, with continuing education in a variety of business and human resources related programs over the years.

Daniel, who worked at Xaloy for eight years supporting the Dynamics AX system, rejoins the company after experience at Aras Corporation, as lead architect with Hobart Service, and as enterprise architect with A.O. Smith Electrical Products Co. Altogether, he brings more than 20 years of expertise to his role at Xaloy.
