It’s time for Episode 3 of Rise of the Bull, and this time we’re shipping out for Bainbridge with Yenie Perezpuelles, manager of our shipping department. We’d say that she sits down for a 1 on 1 with Cody, but Yenie is so busy they didn’t have time to sit.
Her story is a huge part of what makes Taurus successful as a company. Yenie has been with the company for over 20 years, starting in the maintenance department – cleaning floors and bathrooms. From there, she rose through the ranks at Taurus until she reached her current position of Shipping and Receiving Manager.
When the company relocated from Miami to Bainbridge, Yenie made the choice to move with Taurus. The expansion into the new facility allowed the shipping department, lead by Yenie, to ship over 1.5 million units during the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, a time when other manufacturers were struggling to ship anything.
Yenie explains that in the old Miami facility, Taurus only had six stations available for pack-out. Now, the new facility has doubled that capacity with 12 stations, and room for plenty more. Listen to Yenie’s full interview with Cody and learn why people like her are the most important part of Taurus’ story.
