Lisa Grimes leads daily production as a Shift Supervisor. She organizes schedules and helps move telemetry and maternity product orders through the facility so customers across the country receive them on time. She enjoys the fast pace of production and takes pride in keeping orders moving. Large orders and busy schedules motivate the team to stay focused and efficient.
Lisa trains new employees and guides them through each step of the production process. She works one-on-one with team members to ensure they understand the job and follow safety practices from the start. Training also focuses on continuous improvement. As employees gain experience, the team refines processes and strengthens consistency across the production floor.
Lisa and the team actively monitor quality throughout production. They check incoming work and finished products to ensure every item meets company standards. Regular audits review procedures and documentation to confirm that operations meet strict quality expectations.
The team continues to upgrade equipment and improve processes to keep pace with customer demand. These improvements help maintain efficiency while supporting the growing need for telemetry and maternity products nationwide.

I have held several positions with EME since hired in November of 1989. I began my journey in Accounts Receivable, then moved to Purchasing before going into Manufacturing Management. While in Manufacturing Management I was instrumental in helping EME acquire its ISO certification in 2005. In 2014, I was promoted to General Manager and in 2020, I became the CEO. I embraced each role with an open mind and eagerness to learn. The journey was both challenging and rewarding, and I would not change a thing.

Over the years I have watched EME’s manufactured sales growth climb from 15% to 90% of the total sales.

I began working at EME during high school and continued working part-time while attending LSU. I worked on the production floor, made boxes, pulled orders, and even drove the van from warehouse to warehouse when EME consisted of 3 buildings.

I was promoted to Manufacturing Manager in January of 2021, where I do a little bit of everything, such as managing employees, staying on top of raw material, finished goods and mechanic’s parts inventory. I am also involved in quality control, purchasing, negotiating freight rates, control of the shipping department, and special projects.
