Justin has much to be proud of during his time at Schmalz, a material handling equipment supplier. He has assisted companies with significant process improvements and aided in decreasing repetitive stress injuries. He has become an expert on vacuums and materials handling and helped Schmalz grow from a $2.5 million company to a $50 million company. One of his direct reports says Justin is “by far and large the best manager” to work with, as he ensures that his employees are well taken care of while being able to complete daily tasks.

Fun fact: When not at work, Justin enjoys vacationing with his loving wife and daughter.
