Company Overview 

Everglory Products Corporation, founded in 2022 in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, manufactures and distributes disposable paper plates and paper party supplies. With two production lines, growing warehouse operations, and increasing sales volume with major U.S. retailers, we are rapidly transitioning from a founder-driven environment to a system-driven, standards-based, and compliance-focused organization. 

As we expand toward four production lines and 50 employees, we are committed to building safety culture, operational excellence, and long-term organizational structure. We value professionalism, accountability, safety, and continuous improvement. 

Position Summary 

Everglory is seeking an experienced, hands-on Operations Manager to lead all operational functions—including Production, Warehousing, Purchasing, and Sales Order Fulfillment—and to architect the systems that will support the company’s next stage of growth. This is a long-term leadership role, working closely with Ownership. 

This role requires building many systems from the ground up, including SOPs, safety programs, ISO-aligned quality processes, 5S/6S practices, training systems, and cross-department workflows.

The operation currently includes ~30 employees across production, warehouse, QC, and administration, with planned expansion to ~50 employees and two additional production lines. This is a high-accountability, high-autonomy role. 

This is a hands-on leadership role requiring significant time on the production floor. 

Candidates must have experience leading change in environments with undeveloped processes, multicultural teams, and legacy work habits.
