For more than 30 years, our client has partnered with manufacturers nationwide to solve complex mechanical challenges and keep critical operations running efficiently. Built on a foundation of engineering expertise, responsiveness, and long-term customer relationships, the company specializes in custom-engineered mechanical systems, ranging from precision components to fully integrated assemblies.

Their mission is simple: deliver practical, reliable solutions that improve performance, reduce downtime, and help customers operate more effectively.

• Build and maintain strong customer relationships through regular communication and on-site support
• Coordinate project timelines, documentation, and communication from concept through delivery
• Conduct product and application training for customers and internal teams as needed
• Identify opportunities for account expansion and support growth strategies with leadership
