For Colby Logan, each day as a mixing filler and dedicated chemical operator at MATHESON’s Joliet, IL facility starts long before the first cylinder is filled. Colby is the kind of teammate who makes sure every detail is in place, whether it’s paperwork in the morning or ensuring gases of every type are safely handled and prepared for customers.
Colby proudly balances his work with his most important roles: husband and father of three. When he’s not at the plant filling cylinders, he’s usually busy cheering from the sidelines or shuttling his kids between practices and games.
One of his favorite memories on the job is learning from Ted Mazer, a MATHESON veteran of 43 years. Ted’s decades of experience left a mark on Colby, who still carries that knowledge forward every day. “He was a good guy that showed me a lot,” Colby says.
What keeps Colby motivated isn’t just the work, it’s the people. He loves the family-oriented, collaborative atmosphere at MATHESON, and he’s proud to be part of a team where safety always comes first. “Safety is #1! I appreciate that they drive hard on safety. They provide us with all the necessary training and documents needed to do our job in the safest manner,” he says.
Colby’s advice for anyone looking to build a rewarding career is simple: never stop learning. “Become an open book. Knowledge is everything,” he says. “Take on the difficult tasks. You’ll miss 100% of the shots you DON’T take.”
Whether he’s hard at work or spending weekends with his loved ones, Colby Logan brings the same dedication to every role he plays, making him a valued part of the MATHESON family.
