Meet Salvador Escalera Espinos
In the 'People of Stahl' series, we talk to colleagues from around the world about what they do, what makes them tick, and what our purpose - Touching lives, for a better world - means to them. Here, we talk to Salvador Escalera from Mexico, whose strong team spirit keeps our distribution centre running smoothly.

How long have you been with Stahl? What first attracted you to the company?
I've been with Stahl for four years now. The stability of the workforce and the benefits on offer made it an attractive organisation to be part of.
What is your role? Can you share an interesting fact about the work you do?
I'm a shift leader at our distribution centre in Mexico, where we ship 230 tonnes of materials and receive 180 tonnes every week. We have a good work environment, where everyone contributes ideas to make our work easier and more efficient. Thanks to our strong communication and coordination, our inventory accuracy is over 99%!
What is your favourite thing about working at Stahl, and what are the biggest challenges?
I really appreciate how colleagues from different sites offer to help; it creates a sense of camaraderie. The challenge comes in maintaining the high standards of operation that we have achieved so far!
How does your work support Stahl’s purpose: Touching lives, for a better world?
Our products touch consumers everywhere, so the shipments we handle every day contribute to meeting their needs. As the people making those connections, I find it important to ensure my team is well supported. I focus on maintaining respect, empathy and feedback amongst colleagues, and creating a positive atmosphere in which to do our work.
If you were CEO of Stahl for the day, what would you do?
I would like to explore how I can help improve even more lives at Stahl. But I don't think one day will be enough!
How do you spend your free time outside of work?
It's about spending quality time with my partner and family. We exercise together, go for walks in the countryside, bike, camp, and explore new places. I teach my children new things and learn a lot from them, because we never stop learning.
Thanks for sharing your inspiring energy with us, Salvador! We are proud of our people who make a difference every day and strive for excellence together. Stay tuned for more 'People of Stahl' features!
