Mike Parker named new plant manager at TrafFix Devices

With the announced retirement of Maurice Havens, plant manager since April 2014, TrafFix Devices has named Mike Parker the new plant manager effective April 10, 2021.

Maurice's last day on the job will be April 9 after seven years of service. He will be joining his family in Wichita, Kansas in retirement.

Mike Parker joined TrafFix Devices in February 2015 and has served as the assistant plant manager since that time. The company stated that Parker brings strong leadership experience in production, quality control, project management and people management.
