Steve, our Purchasing Manager, has been a member of the Neotech team since 2016.
Previously a Procurement Specialist, Steve’s role at Neotech has evolved into one that requires coordination across various departments.
He is responsible for planning, purchasing, and managing the supply chain for Neotech’s inventory, which includes both parts and materials used in manufacturing, as well as finished devices produced by contractor manufacturers.
His role also extends into other areas, such as new product development, where he coordinates tooling, prototype part purchases, and the sourcing of new materials. Additionally, Steve collaborates with Engineering and Quality teams, working with vendors to resolve issues, discuss corrective actions, and ensure that engineering drawings and documentation are updated as needed.
What Steve enjoys most about his role is the constant challenge it brings. He thrives on solving complex inventory management problems, working with suppliers to achieve company goals, and finding creative ways to improve efficiency.
“But most of all, I really enjoy working with the people at Neotech and knowing that we all share a common purpose of helping patients all over the world,” he shared.
Before joining Neotech, Steve worked as a Production Manager for Weston Graphics, one of Neotech’s top suppliers, where he gained experience in packaging materials and manufacturing. He attended Pierce College and Moorpark College, where he majored in business.
Steve and his two sisters were born in Santa Monica, CA, but his parents are from Hungary. He is a dual citizen and is fluent in Hungarian. At home, Steve has two pets: Zoey, a 13-year-old blue nose pit bull, and Angelo, a 45-year-old Amazon parrot. (You may have seen them in last month’s NeoPets feature.)
Outside of work, Steve loves bike riding, tennis, camping, visiting local breweries, and trying new restaurants with his dad. He’s an adrenaline enthusiast who once reached a speed of 62 mph on his bike! And a fun fact about Steve: despite being color blind, he says that blue is his favorite color.
