Mechanical Engineer 2017Chris Perez, Lab Test Technician, “My job is very interesting and very rewarding. TEDA TPCO America are good people. They take care of their employees.”
Chris has been employed with TEDA TPCO America for a little over a year as a Lab Test Technician. He starts his day by assessing and gathering his personal protective equipment as safety is paramount in his work space. After making sure all job safety analysis sheets are properly filled out and that the team has signed them, Chris then moves on to the enterprise resource planning system to determine incoming tubular casing samples that have come from the plant and to plan the day with his colleagues. “When we get busy, we get into the zone. I feel enthusiastic when I come to the plant,” Chris says, “Every day, I ask myself what I can do to make myself more productive.”
Chris served in the US Army for 3 years and saw combat in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Using his GI Bill, which provides educational assistance to service members, Chris pursued his Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biology from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Chris says it was quite a journey to land the job that he loved.
A Corpus Christi, Texas native and graduate of W.B. Ray High School, Chris spends his spare time with his loving family: daughter Jedy, 16, who is on the Ray High School Tex- Ann drill team, son Luke, 10, daughter Lorelai, 7 and wife Ganelle, a stay at home mom. They enjoy taking in everything Corpus Christi has to offer with walks downtown and visits to the Art Museum of South Texas and attending Buc Days, where they won several gold fish last year.

Melvin Neugent – Quality Inspector since 9/8/2014
With his gentle demeanor, Melvin is a force to be reckoned with in Quality. He knows the requirements of our pipe backwards and forward. In his free time, Melvin spends quality time with hisfamily fishing, swimming and enjoying bar-b-que. Born in Oklahoma while his father was in the U.S. Army, they moved to the Coastal Bend. Melvin attended grade school through high school in Calallen.
Something you don’t know about Melvin, is that he enjoys breeding and raising geckos! He has bred and created some wonderfully colorful fellows about 8 inches in length. There are trade shows for these geckos and can go anywhere from $400 to $600 each. He and the kids handle them so that they are acclimated to humans. At home they have their own cages, however, one did escape. When they found him he had gone to the cage of a female gecko.
Melvin and his family enjoy Mexican food. He says he cooks Tex-Mex, however his wife cooks authentic. His favorite place to go to dinner is On The Border Mexican Cantina or Chili’s.
Melvin has seen the growth of TEDA TPCO America but understands that it has been a slow growth as compared to the future and sees himself a big part of that growth – and so do we!
Jose Saiz – Shift Lead
Though Jose started with TEDA TPCO America on 9/8/14, he has come up through the ranks. When he started with the Company, he was an Inspector in the Quality Department and now into his current position of Shift Lead. He knows, understands, and can run almost every position in the End Finishing Facility.
Jose is married and has four children (two boys and two girls) spaced evenly apart – ages 16, 14, 12 and 10. He pretends to be the tough dad and says that dating will not be an option with his girls, ha ha. The family enjoys fishing and tent camping as long as their phones are charged.
He attended Alice High School and currently lives in Bishop with the family and three dogs. Any spare time between work and family is enjoyed on the basketball court. When asked if he had $100 to go out to dinner where would he go, he quipped, McDonalds Dollar Menu, however, he really likes the food at Texas Roadhouse.
Jose sees himself on a path of continued growth with the Company and since his knowledge is varied throughout the plant, we see him becoming a part of management.
A strong talent development strategy is the key to any company surviving. Since our plant is the first of its kind in the entire Coastal Bend area, most of our recruits come in at a beginning level and are trained up the ladder of success. TEDA TPCO America works diligently with our partners; Texas Workforce Commission and Del Mar College.
Through Del Mar College, we have developed and expanded on a number of training courses that are required within our industry.We completed our first grant with Texas Workforce Commission and Del Mar College in 2015, training the first recruits for Phase I, the End Finishing Facility. During the first grant, courses were taught at Del Mar College and Craft Training Center by accredited teachers.
We are pleased to announce that the second grant has now been completed in preparation for Phase II. As part of the second grant, course syllabuses were submitted for approval, our employees credentials were submitted for review and approved as trainers, thus allowing TEDA TPCO America to teach onsite with our own trainers allowing those candidates in training to put the knowledge to use immediately.
Thank you to the Texas Workforce Commission, Del Mar College and our own employees: JoAdrian Vara, Jennifer Armstrong, Joshua Luke, Jose Saiz and Jennifer Thurman for making it happen! This grant gave TEDA TPCO America over $95,000 in teaching and training supplies.
