At AdvanSix, it all starts with…people. Every day, our teams turn possibilities into solutions. We work together and strive to live our values of safety, integrity, accountability and respect. We’re driven by a desire to do good in the communities in which we operate and to collaborate with our customers to deliver solutions that help make the world a better place. For MJ Imondo, a maintenance engineer at our Chesterfield site, working at AdvanSix is more than a job – it’s a way to shape the world around us.
From Local Commitment to National Impact
AdvanSix’s Chesterfield site is one of the largest U.S. producers of Nylon 6 resins. MJ explains, “I drove here in a car that has nylon parts. This morning, I checked my email on a computer, which received signals through a cable lined with nylon. After this, I’m going to get lunch, and the packaging is going to be nylon. It’s everywhere around us.”
MJ takes pride in knowing that his work has a far-reaching impact. “I always wanted to work in industry, and now I do. Working together to create a product that everyone’s going to be using, it’s fantastic. It’s not just a part of my small community here at the plant or the community of the state. I am affecting our whole country.”
No Two Days Are the Same
Beyond the impact he makes, MJ thrives on the challenges each day brings. “My job changes day-to-day, based off what we need. Some days I’m crawling into vessels, chambers, under and through piping. Some days I’m writing up game plans. Other days I’m executing on those.” MJ shares, “no two days are the same, and I love that!”
A Safety-First Culture
But above all else, safety is MJ’s number one priority. “No work is worth doing, unless it’s safe, and that’s just how we start everything,” he explains.
At AdvanSix, Safety is not only a core value of our company, but a personal commitment and an active choice that each of us must make every day for ourselves, our families, our colleagues and our communities. “If I’m making a game plan, first question I’m asking is, before I send this out, is it safe? What can go wrong? How do we make it safer?” explains MJ. “Safety has been a huge cornerstone of the way I approach work and the way I expect my colleagues to approach work as well. Everyone needs to go home the way they came in.”
MJ’s dedication to safety and problem-solving reflect the culture that drives us forward – one where every team member plays a vital role in delivering essential products that impact daily life. From ensuring safe, efficient operations to producing high-quality materials used across industries, AdvanSix is committed to making an impact.
