Experience that benefits the Customer. 

Our founder, Mr. Konnerth has the focus and knowledge of a specialist in having always worked with custom machinery or custom modifications to production machinery.for over 4 decades.   He however has the attitude and perspective of a generalist having worked in or for companies in many different industries of all different sizes.   It has been said that to a worker whose only tool is a hammer, all problems look like a nail.     Mr Konnerth's lifetime of "tool" collection allows him to efficiently identify a range of appropriate solutions from which the customer can  chose what is best for their plant.   His perspective is further broadened by having spent extended periods as rank and file technical employee, project and department manager within a corporate setting and as a serial business owner.
