OPEX® Corporation Appoints Drew Stevens to New Role as Vice President of Operations

Share

OPEX® Corporation, a global leader in Next Generation Automation providing innovative solutions for warehouse, document and mail automation, announced that Drew Stevens, a longtime member of the executive leadership team and part of the company’s third generation of family ownership, has been named Vice President of Operations.

In his new role, Stevens will oversee company operations for both sectors of the business — warehouse automation, and document and mail automation. He previously served as Vice President, Global Business Development and Marketing, Warehouse Automation.

“As we continue to expand our portfolio of solutions, as well as our global footprint, Drew is the ideal individual to step into this new role,” stated Dave Stevens, Chief Executive Officer, OPEX. “His proven leadership and extensive knowledge of the automation industry overall are invaluable as OPEX — now in our 50th year of business — continues to evolve.”

Stevens’ broad experience at OPEX encompasses various positions in business development and sales management across both automation sectors, fully preparing him to take on his latest responsibilities. He has been a part of the company dating back to his high school years.

“In my first job at OPEX, I would come in after school to tidy up the shops and cubicles, making sure the floors were swept and trash was removed,” recalled Stevens. “Much has transpired since then. Leading our sales organization and interacting with numerous internal departments over the years to solve challenges has shaped me into a dedicated customer advocate. And it has provided me with tremendous insight into how some of the biggest companies execute their business models operationally. I understand the expectations in the marketplace, and I’m thrilled for the opportunity to help OPEX exceed those expectations.”

Outside of OPEX, Stevens is a member of Forbes Business Council, a vetted professional organization for owners, founders, and executive leaders of small and mid-sized businesses. He serves as Chair, Board of Directors, at More Than Rehab, the residential treatment center he founded in College Station, Texas, and volunteers his time as a youth basketball coach. Stevens received his bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership from Texas A&M University, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. He is based in Moorestown, New Jersey.
