B-O-F
Manufactures gravity-flow shelving for groceries
Salary Range: 85000 to 105000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)
For over 70 years, B-O-F Corporation has led the industry in gravity flow shelving innovation — not by simply making fixtures, but by solving retail's most pressing problems through engineering insight, deep partnerships, and a relentless drive to do things better. From iconic products like the Milk Moover® to category-defining systems for single-serve and wine, we help retailers reduce labor, protect margins, and consistently outperform expectations.
We solve problems that most people don't even see, but retailers feel every day. Our team blends engineering precision, creative thinking, and hands-on collaboration to deliver solutions that help stores run smoother and sell more — and we've built a reputation that's trusted and respected across the industry.
Whether you're on the floor at our Illinois headquarters or out in the field with retailers, you'll be joining a team that's been built to last.
We are seeking an Industrial Engineer who will be responsible for improving how our plant runs. Day to day, that means studying our production processes and workflows, finding where time, cost, and material are being lost, and leading the changes that fix it. The work spans the full cycle. You’ll pull throughput, downtime, and quality data from our ERP system to establish a baseline. You’ll map the current state and identify root causes, then design the future state. Layout and workstation changes get modeled and validated in CAD before anything moves on the floor. Once a change is implemented, you’ll measure the results against the baseline and follow up to make sure the improvement holds.
Alongside project work, you’ll own the plant’s core industrial engineering fundamentals: time studies and labor standards, line balancing, capacity planning, and the standard work and process documentation that keeps operations consistent. You’ll also support new product and process introductions, flagging capacity or manufacturability risks before they become problems.

B-O-F specializes in gravity flow shelving for grocery stores, providing Bev-O-Flow systems that keep shelves neat and rotated by automatically sliding products to the front as items are removed. The shelves are inclined so products roll forward with gravity, ensuring the next item is visible and easy to access, which reduces stocking labor. Unlike broader shelving suppliers, B-O-F concentrates exclusively on gravity flow designs and holds multiple patents, making it a preferred supplier for many major grocery chains. Its goal is to improve on-shelf presentation and efficiency for retailers, with growth driven by private-equity-backed expansion and deployment of its systems.
