Chargeback Bolsters Steelcase In-plant

Schmidutz spent three more years with the in-plant, managing a staff of six. After a two-year stint as an account manager with Xerox, he was recruited by Steelcase, a manufacturer of office products and services. Schmidutz replaced the retiring in-plant manager.

"It was comfortable because the job was a perfect fit for my background," Schmidutz says of his initiation. "My staff welcomed me right away and were receptive to change."
