Technology Professionals
Almost a hundred years ago, our client company began as an engineering and manufacturing company supplying machinery for the building products industry. As the Composite Wood Panel industry developed in the 1960's and 1970's, the company became involved in producing lines for some of the early particleboard, MDF and wafer board plants. As these industries matured, the company's involvement in the development of the engineered wood industry stimulated growth in the company in terms of size and technical capabilities. Today our client is a leading supplier of custom designed, built, and fully integrated equipment and systems for industries that include plastic composites, automotive, aerospace, pulp and paper, and building products. Much of the companys supply is built to suit their customers particular preferences, and they specialize in developing new solutions to meet each new challenge. More than 20 percent of the company's staff is directly involved, on a full-time basis, in machine design and development. The company's innovativeness in the products they develop is but one reason for their geometrical growth.
