Andr\u00e9s Borrero was surprised by his employees with an award Wednesday morning. He’s pictured looking at the projector to see who was attending virtually.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He stood at the front of a packed room at the world’s largest ice cream factory Wednesday morning, scanning faces \u2014 employees, community leaders, a screen full of colleagues tuned in from around the world \u2014 and slowly understood what was happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to surprise me,\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cMy wife will tell you. It\u2019s very, very difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

His wife was on the screen. So was his younger son, Felipe. So were people who had worked alongside Borrero at other facilities, in other cities, across years of assignments. They were drawn together to honor a man whose impact, it turns out, is hard to contain to one place.<\/p>\n

Tipton County\u2019s economic development director, Mark Herbison, has spent 30 years working with plant managers across the region. He didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s never been a better plant leader than Andr\u00e9s Borrero,” he said.<\/p>\n

That matters more than it might sound. Because when Borrero arrived in Covington, the plant he now manages was in serious trouble.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Borrero smiles Wednesday as colleagues and community leaders share stories about the impact he’s had at Magnum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A factory on the edge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Herbison described a meeting from a couple of years ago that was blunt by necessity. The Magnum facility was struggling with workforce shortages, operational problems, a frayed relationship with the surrounding community. Borrero told the group plainly: there was a real possibility the factory could close.<\/p>\n

What followed was methodical and personal at the same time.<\/p>\n

The Loving Covington initiative was founded and, with Borrero’s leadership, they have rebuilt community connections and changed the workplace culture, too.<\/p>\n

They showed up to eighth-grade career expos and job fairs. He walked into rooms where plant managers almost never appear and kept coming back until his presence stopped being surprising. He reached out to TCAT Northwest, to Tipton County Schools, to local government.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we needed was intention. We needed to have engagement,” he said.<\/p>\n

And so, they did.<\/p>\n

Wednesday morning, TCAT Northwest President Dr. Youlanda Jones was in that room. So was Covington Mayor Jan Hensley, future county executive Billy Daugherty, and assistant superintendent Dr. Rebekah Byrd. None of them came because they had to; they came because over two years, Borrero had made himself a fixture in their professional lives and, by his own account, they had made themselves a fixture in his.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen a team come together to embrace the community,\u201d Herbison said. \u201cWe\u2019ve reconnected completely. We\u2019ve built strong partnerships with TCAT, with Tipton County Schools and our local governments. Through the Loving Covington campaign, it\u2019s really made a huge difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I came to here, to the factory and to Covington,\u201d Borrero said. \u201cEverything I saw was potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borrero laughs at a remark made by Boys & Girls Club Director Ed Doyle.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Serving God by serving others\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ed Doyle, director of the Boys & Girls Club of the Hatchie River Region, arrived with a Bible verse and a pocket full of tissues.<\/p>\n

He opened with Colossians 3:23 \u2014 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters \u2014 and told the room that Borrero is one of the few people he has met who actually lives that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis leadership reaches far beyond the walls of this remarkable workplace and deep into the heart of our community,\u201d Doyle said.<\/p>\n

The room was quiet in the way rooms get when something true is being said out loud. By the time Doyle finished, Borrero was visibly emotional. Several others were as well.<\/p>\n

Doyle announced that a permanent wall display would be installed at the facility in June, with space for future honorees to be added year after year. The Andr\u00e9s Borrero Loving Covington Award, presented for the first time that morning, would outlast all of them: a piece of institutional memory anchored in the culture one man built.<\/p>\n

The award, he said, would be given annually to a Magnum employee who reflects the values Borrero brought to Covington: character, service, humility, and an unrelenting commitment to the people around him.<\/p>\n

\u2018Big shoes to fill\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The room quieted again when Felipe Borrero\u2019s face appeared on the screen at the front.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t take long to get to the point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see the work you put in even outside of work,\u201d Felipe said. \u201cThe love you work with for the people, for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he has watched his father\u2019s impact across multiple assignments and plants throughout his career \u2014 a legacy that stretches well beyond Covington.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there was also an award for best father, you would win it. I have the best mentor, the best role model I could have. I have big shoes to fill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andr\u00e9s Borrero, standing at the front of the room, was choked up. So were many others.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little bit humbled,\u201d he finally answered, when someone asked how he was doing.<\/p>\n

Colleague after colleague chimed in \u2014 people from previous facilities, previous roles, other cities \u2014 describing a man whose impact followed him from one assignment to the next. Colleague Umair Arshad put it simply: \u201cYou have been my boss, you have been my mentor, you have been my friend. Throughout your career at this company, you have touched a lot of hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several stories emerged of moments when, faced with challenges that affected employees\u2019 paychecks, Borrero had bought them groceries and made sure their families had what they needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that really moved me is where you put your purpose in life,\u201d Borrero said. \u201cServe God by serving others. And I cannot allow in my watch to have families of people not having food on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even Borrero\u2019s boss, Alper Kulak, the senior vice president of Supply Chain, took a turn. The gains at Covington aren\u2019t just cultural. Productivity has increased month-over-month, year-over-year, quarter-over-quarter, he said.<\/p>\n

An employee named Jake, speaking on camera after the presentation, said what he had to say was simple: \u201cThank you for delivering on your promises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borrero poses with the award bearing his name.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018This is how we\u2019re going to do it\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it was Borrero\u2019s turn to speak, he had no notes.<\/p>\n

He talked about arriving in Covington and seeing potential where others saw problems. He talked about his faith \u2014 765 days of consistent prayer tracked on an app, the streak beginning, he noted, right here in Covington. He said he calls Tennessee home now.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody that\u2019s coming to visit the factory is telling us we can be not only the largest \u2014 we can be the best,\u201d Borrero said.<\/p>\n

One of his colleagues, Anna, said the award was also a direct answer to a question Borrero had asked in March, when he pressed his team about how the changes he helped lead would continue after him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is how we\u2019re going to do it,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is how we\u2019re going to be a part of the cultural change in the factory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borrero closed the way he opened: with heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis love in Covington is contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n
