OMNI Systems’ Erik Majkrzak Recognized as Notable Leader in Sustainability
Vice President of Operations awarded by Crain’s Cleveland Business
CLEVELAND, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Erik Majkrzak, vice president of operations at OMNI Systems, was recognized by Crain’s Cleveland Business as one of its 2025 Notable Leaders in Sustainability. The recognition highlights Majkrzak’s leadership and OMNI’s commitment to combining operational excellence with environmental responsibility.
“Recognition from Crain’s Cleveland Business is special because it demonstrates OMNI’s unique commitment to meeting customer demand while doing right by the environment,” said Majkrzak. “For us, this isn’t just corporate responsibility, but a strategic drive. Our traditional manufacturing approach led to waste that was unsustainable both environmentally and economically, so we changed how we operate. Now, we’re continually looking for ways to help our customers, and our own company, meet sustainability goals.”
Central to Majkrzak’s recognition was the scrap diversion and energy conversion initiative he launched in 2024. Previously a manual process, OMNI automated its adhesive matrix scrap removal with a central vacuum and baler system. This allowed the company to remove and compress scrap quickly, and it now diverts 80 tons of scrap monthly (nearly 900 tons per year) from landfills.
He also led the initiative to convert compressed scrap into energy pellets, transforming a costly biproduct into a sustainable resource. The results to OMNI customers and the environment were significant, with a 10% increase in run speeds, 25% less scrap waste, and a 5% boost in production efficiency – saving nearly $500,000 in capital costs.
These enhancements went beyond reducing environmental impact; they boosted efficiency, improved safety by reducing forklift traffic, and enabled employees to shed low-value, repetitive tasks in favor of higher-value work.
“At OMNI, we don’t view sustainability as a cost center,” said Mike Murton, president at OMNI Systems. “It’s essential for our people, our customers, our communities, and our planet. By integrating automation and energy conversion into our core operations, we’ve shown that sustainability can increase profitability, benefit customers, and create meaningful growth opportunities for employees.”
