About Todd Elvish

With a solid foundation in geology and over 13 years of experience in the water filtration industry, I have recently taken on the role of Operations Manager at Lakehead Newsprint, a key player in the production of newsprint and groundwood specialty papers. My career has been driven by a commitment to operational excellence, continuous improvement, and sustainable practices. In my previous roles, I managed a wide range of responsibilities, including installations, sales, operations management, and purchasing. This diverse experience has equipped me with strong skills in process optimization, strategic planning, team leadership, and budget management. I have a proven ability to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction, drawing on my hands-on experience and strategic oversight in the water filtration sector. Transitioning to the paper industry, I am excited to apply my expertise in a new context. At Lakehead Newsprint, I oversee the operational aspects of our facilities, ensuring that we meet production goals while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety. My background in geology provides me with a unique perspective on resource management and environmental sustainability, which I am eager to integrate into our operations, particularly in exploring eco-friendly materials and reducing waste.
