Mr. Trevor Stone was raised in Deptford, N.J., graduating from Deptford High School in 1989. While he was in high school, he served on Student Council and played baseball. His first job was serving delicious ice cream at Friendly’s, earning $3.25 per hour.

Trevor complimented his high school teachers Mr. Schoener, history; Ms. Daugherty, algebra; and Mrs. Fletcher, chemistry, for the positive influences they had on him during his high school days.

Trevor recalls, “After high school, I was employed by Reeb Millwork as a builder and machine operator, manufacturing custom windows and doors. The wage rate was $7.15 an hour.”

Through hard work, he was appointed supervisor of the steel and wood departments.

After 16 years at Reeb Millwork, he started a new career at Buzzi Unicem in the cement industry. He began as a shift supervisor and diligently worked to learn the total plant operation. Gaining valuable cement experience, he was promoted to production superintendent with a team of five supervisors and 29 men.

Currently, Trevor is safety manager.

He said, “We work to educate and train our employees in the best safety practices. There are safety meetings with our employees and numerous reports to federal and state agencies.”

A very amiable manager, he is in the plant every day interacting with co-workers.

With a smile, he said, “I enjoy working at Buzzi Unicem and communicating with all my co-workers.”

Currently, the plant manager is Mr. Radoslav Slavov.

Trevor feels the plant has a bright future. Each year, the plant is updated to improve safety and produce quality cement. He also serves as a Northampton Borough councilman.

We wish Mr. Trevor Stone and all our friends at the century-old plant a safe and prosperous 2024.
