Federal names Tim Pankow electrical engineering supervisor

Filling systems manufacturer Federal Manufacturing, powered by Pro Mach, has hired Tim Pankow as its new Electrical Engineering Supervisor; Pankow brings extensive experience in engineering and automation controls to his new position.

Pankow comes to Federal from GFG, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals Machinery, where he started as a control systems designer and progressed to be Project Manager for electrical control and systems.
               
In his new position he is responsible for all electrical engineering projects and supervision of electrical design and programming team members. He will work with customers to obtain specifications, and then coordinate engineering activities within the team to develop the electrical systems that operate the machinery. Pankow will also act as a technical resource for customers to resolve any automation system issues during machine installation and start-up.

“Throughout our organization, our employees are committed to develop and build filling and capping equipment that excels in simplicity of sanitary design, includes the latest technology, and gives dependable performance for years to come,” said John Oliaro, Vice President and General Manager. “I am confident Tim will be an invaluable asset in achieving the level of excellence we desire.”
