Meet Vincent Troisi, our Production Unit Manager at our GWS-NC facility in Arden, North Carolina. Vincent came to GWS Tool Group in 2024 from Sandvik Coromant, where he first joined the greater Sandvik Machining Solutions team in 2016.

When Vincent started his career in manufacturing, he instantly knew that he loved it and wanted to learn everything he could. He spent the first part of his career in sheet metal manufacturing, then found his way to Sandvik Coromant, which was a customer at the time. Vincent was given the opportunity to work in several different facilities – one in Florida, South Carolina, New York, and now the GWS-North Carolina facility.

Throughout his career, Vincent has had a passion for building up those around him. He is a strong believer in cross-training, enabling anyone who works at his facility to have knowledge of every aspect of the tooling manufacturing process. This allows for greater flexibility and growth – both for the employees and the facility as a whole. He also deeply appreciates being able to build relationships with his fellow co-workers, watching them develop and grow over time.

Vincent also values daily involvement in the facility’s operations, holding “pulse” meetings on the shop floor to stay visible and approachable. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing everyone’s contributions, acknowledging that the facility runs on the support of everyone as a team. Vincent prioritizes employee engagement and recognition by cultivating a rewarding culture, hosting events for employees and their families, and encouraging promotions.

Despite numerous career changes, Vincent appreciates the global opportunities Sandvik provided. When he transitioned to GWS, the company found him the perfect role, allowing him to continue his passion for creating custom cutting tools. This unique aspect of his work keeps him motivated and eager to learn something new every day.

LIFE OUTSIDE OF GWS

Outside of work, Vincent enjoys spending time with his family. He has been married to his wife, Joyce, for 31 years, and they have three daughters and three granddaughters. Although his children and grandchildren live in Florida, where Vincent was born and raised, he and Joyce frequently travel back to visit them.

Vincent and Joyce love traveling in their camper, often going on camping trips. He enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and fishing. At home, Vincent tends to his vegetable garden, growing favorites like tomatoes and cucumbers, while Joyce focuses on her flower garden.

Vincent also has a talent for woodworking. He has a workshop at home where he crafts birdhouses, roll-top desks, cedar chests, and other items using wood like oak and mahogany.
