We develop quality solutions for multiple industries such as high- purity water, pharmaceuticals, microelectronics, ink and paint, food and beverages, and gas and oil n I started working with Strainrite while I was in college at the University of Maine and was employed at the Advanced Manufacturing Center on campus. At the time, Strainrite was partnering with the AMC on a few different pieces of automated equipment, and I was heavily involved in the design, build, and troubleshooting processes on those projects. By the time I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, we had built 3 different automated work cells and I was fortunate enough to be hired full time as a Strainrite Process Engineer. Presently, my role includes maintaining the machines on the f loor, working with new product designs, acquiring new equipment, and supervising a 4 person engineering team.
