JONESBORO, Ark. — Hytrol is proud to announce that Wayne McGill, material coordinator, is the recipient of the 2018 Loberg Award. He received the award during the company’s annual Loberg Day celebration on July 2.

McGill has worked at Hytrol since 1976 and held positions in power assembly and parts. In his current position, he is responsible for helping stock the production facility with parts to assemble conveyors.

“I am truly honored by this recognition,” said McGill. “I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Loberg. He was a wonderful boss, leader and even a better person. He taught us to go the extra mile and be able to make a difference. Receiving an award named in his memory is very humbling.”

The Loberg Award is the highest honor a Hytrol employee can receive. It is presented to an employee who exemplifies Hytrol founder Tom Loberg’s character and his values: respect for others, integrity, service and empathy. Recipients of the award are nominated by fellow Hytrol employees and selected by a committee.

“Wayne always has a smile, always is willing to help and always has a kind word to say to others,” said Hytrol Vice President Bob West. “That’s exactly the type of person we look for in this award.”

McGill lives in Bono with his wife, Genice, and has three grown daughters Hollie, Samatha and Alice.
