Christa Benner

My background includes experience in purchasing, where I focused on procuring indirect materials, as well as working as a material planner contributing to material flow optimization within the automotive sector. I also have experience in inside sales, managing major accounts such as Ford, GM, and Chrysler, where I processed quotes, conducted research, and ensured timely and accurate documentation. In addition, I have held roles as a production controller and customer service representative.

In my current role as a buyer, my focus is on sourcing and managing indirect materials, maintaining strong supplier relationships, negotiating pricing and lead times, and ensuring timely procurement to support production and operational needs.

I enjoy working here because my work matters and I feel trusted to do my job. It plays to my strengths, and I really enjoy working with my co-workers.
