Mike Browning, a facility manager at the Columbus II facility in Ohio, has been with ICS for nearly 25 years. His journey with the company began at the smaller Columbus I facility, where he started as a case picker before eventually climbing the ranks to manage the larger Columbus II facility on Setterlin Drive. Over his tenure, Mike has experienced firsthand the company’s supportive, family-oriented culture.
Recently, Mike’s eldest son, Jonathan, joined ICS as a forklift operator. Although their paths do not intersect daily due to their roles in different areas of the business, the pride Mike feels knowing his son is part of the ICS family is “immense,” the company said.
Jonathan’s return to the company, after a previous stint as a temporary employee, highlights the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
“One of the main reasons I have stayed with the company for so long is because of the family-oriented culture and the ownership,” Mike said in a news release. “It’s a place where I can make a good living while enjoying what I do. Seeing my son work hard and grow within the same company is incredibly rewarding.
“I’ve always had a picture of us together in my office. That we share the same hallways gives me immense pride.”
