Mike Vale leads 3M’s Safety & Industrial Business Group which includes personal safety, adhesives and tapes, abrasives, closure and masking systems, electrical markets, automotive aftermarket, and roofing granulars. Mike led the 3M team’s effort to produce and distribute personal protective equipment (PPE) during the global pandemic including N95 masks. Previous pandemics including H1N1 and Ebola led 3M to develop a “surge capacity” to meet rapid increases in demand which includes the production of 1 billion masks by the end of the year.

Mike was most recently head of 3M’s Health Care Business Group, and prior to that led the company’s Consumer Business Group. Over the years, his career with 3M has sent him abroad four times for varied roles, including research chemist, manufacturing director and general manager.

“A decades-long career at 3M can span a diverse range of businesses, market segments and geographies,” Mike says. “I’ve been fortunate enough to see this company from many, many angles—and 3M is impressive no matter where you are in the world.”
