Fast, Efficient, and Always There: How Wildman Supports General Stamping

At General Stamping, a company with over a century of experience and a billion-dollar footprint, clean, safe, and professional operations aren’t just goals; they’re a daily expectation. 

As the MRO Buyer for this third-generation manufacturer serving the automotive, solar, lawn, and garden equipment industries, Leanne Olsen plays a critical role in keeping that standard alive. With only two purchasers handling the entire company’s supply needs, the right partnerships make all the difference.

“I just don’t have time to micromanage vendors,” Leanne explained. “That’s why working with Wildman is so easy.”

A Clean, Organized Company Culture Supported by Wildman

Walk through General Stamping, and one of the first things you’ll notice is the spotless facility. “Our employees take pride in their areas,” said Leanne. “At the end of every shift, they’re sweeping and tidying up. It matters to them.” 

That culture of care is reinforced through services that are consistent, reliable, and hands-off for the internal team, which is where Wildman comes in.

Leanne inherited the Wildman relationship when she stepped into her role about two years ago. Since then, she’s worked primarily with Wildman Service Representative Heath Miller, who oversees their first aid supply program. “Heath is really good,” she said. “He’s professional, friendly, and takes quick action when we need something. I really enjoy working with him.”

A Seamless Fit into Daily Operations

Wildman has helped streamline the supply process by installing first aid kits throughout the facility, in every department. “Now, our employees don’t have to leave their area to get what they need,” Leanne said. “We even relocated a kit from shipping to a more centralized location so it’s easier for everyone to access.”

Wildman also helps proactively meet the needs of the General Stamping team. When the maintenance team started looking into AEDs, Heath was quick to respond with product and pricing information. 

When a department ran out of ice packs during a busy period, Heath made a special trip to restock them immediately. “He didn’t have to do that, but he did,” said Leanne. “That kind of support makes a difference.”

Simple, Reliable Service That Saves Time

Each Wildman visit is simple. Leanne greets Heath, leads him to the supply room, and he takes care of the rest: refilling items, checking expiration dates, and making sure everything’s in order. “At the end, I just sign off on the reorder,” she said. “It’s really an easy process.”

That ease means Leanne and her team don’t have to stress about supply gaps or scramble to find essential items. “Without Wildman, we might not have some of the bleed control kits or sharps containers on hand,” she noted. “But with them, it’s one less thing we have to worry about.”

A Trusted Partner That Delivers

When asked what she’d say to someone in a similar role, Leanne didn’t hesitate: “Wildman is a good company to work with. And Heath is very, very good!”

Her final verdict? “Fast and efficient with customer service.”

For a company that’s been around for more than 100 years, it takes a dependable partner to keep things running at the pace and standard General Stamping demands. And for Leanne, Wildman is exactly that.
