In 2000, he moved to Connecticut to become manufacturing manager at Cadco’s then-new location in Winsted, Conn. A champion of the company’s approach to lean manufacturing, Grano de Oro was eventually promoted to director of operations. He would go on to be promoted to vice president of operations and play a key role in a variety of high-profile Cadco initiatives.
