Vortex's Strategic Move: Hiring Rob Stensby for CIPP Excellence

The Vortex Companies, LLC, a distinguished player in trenchless water and sewer infrastructure solutions, has recently made a significant strategic decision. The company welcomed Rob Stensby, a seasoned professional with nearly two decades of experience in Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) product quality, as their new Technical Director. This move heralds a new era in the management of Vortex's patented CIPP Curing Monitoring System, known as VeriCure.

Aligning Technology with Manufacturing

As part of this transformation, Vortex is also shifting the management of the VeriCure technology under its manufacturing arm, United Felts. This strategic alignment aims to enhance the overall quality value of CIPP applications and to provide superior customer experiences. Mike Vellano, the CEO of Vortex, emphasized the importance of Stensby's expertise in optimizing the VeriCure system as a tool for improving the installation quality of CIPP linings.

Rob Stensby brings with him extensive field experience, having collaborated with large urban centers across the United States on complex trenchless rehabilitation projects. He has a robust background in evaluating trenchless products and implementing quality control systems that enhance value while ensuring operational integrity.

Improving Product Quality and Experience

According to Matt Timberlake, President of United Felts, integrating Stensby into their team aligns directly with their mission: improving product quality across both manufacturing and installation processes. By ensuring that VeriCure control boxes and fiber optic cables are available at all United Wetout facilities across the U.S., they aim to maximize accessibility and enhance customer service.

Stensby expressed his enthusiasm for this new position, anticipating the opportunity to highlight the real-world benefits of the VeriCure system. He stated, "VeriCure is not just a cure monitoring system; it enables adjustments to installation equipment, curing schedules, and more, based on direct analytics."
