Combining lean manufacturing and more than 50 years of experience in the industry, Gabriel Camacho and Dave Smith, Consolidated Laundry Machinery’s (CLM) new president and director of sales, respectively, have joined forces at the Pomona, CA-based equipment manufacturer, according to a news release.

Camacho, promoted from vice president of operations, has been in manufacturing for over 20 years, and studied lean manufacturing Shingijutsu in Japan.

“Gabriel Camacho is an experienced and knowledgeable manufacturing executive with a demonstrated track record of success,” said CLM’s owner Jason Farber of Carlin Capital Group. “His proven ability to drive and sustain improvements to product quality and consistency along with a keen focus on providing top-notch customer service fit perfectly with CLM’s goals and objectives.
