Customers can anticipate an increase in production capacity while the core principles of excellent design, durable fabrication, and dependable equipment still take precedence.
Stating the importance of this transition, Dan Lueck, Head of Engineering at Remcon, commented positively on Johnston’s understanding of the company’s rich history and the associated accountability. Lux echoed this sentiment, emphasizing his commitment to supporting the company as it embarks on this next chapter.
