Gary Horak from Allpax.
Gary has only been with Allpax for two years, but has quickly become a customer favorite and a go to technician for challenging situations. Recently, a customer asked Gary if he could speed up a product loader manufactured by a competitor, which wasn’t providing satisfactory support. Gary studied the machine then initiated an upgrade plan. He identified multiple software modifications and new parts that could be made to improve throughput.
With Gary’s help, output increased by 20 percent—a tremendous upgrade. The machine now outputs an additional 43,200 containers per shift. Here’s what our customer had to say: “Gary is an absolute professional and top notch technician. He has gone above and beyond my expectations.”
Gary’s customer service skills and commitment to excellence set a high standard. His strong skill set, positive attitude and performance have earned him the respect of his peers and our customers. Gary is a true ProCustomer Champion.
Gary likes to fish and spend time with his wife and children in his spare time.
David Setterstrom from Brenton

Recently a key customer for multiple Pro Mach brands, wanted to learn how to create and program new pallet patterns into their recently installed Currie by Brenton robotic system. David quickly developed a training webinar tailored to their needs and conducted a three hour training session to ensure the customer knew how to create and add new patterns on their own.
Here’s what our customer had to say: “Dave is the greatest robot wizard I’ve ever met. I wish I had a couple months to work with him so that a little of his vast brilliance might rub off. He went way above and beyond his obligations. Dave’s a great guy and I suggest you give him a raise. Please thank him again for me.”
David enjoys attending his children’s sporting events, hunting and catching a good movie in his spare time.

Wally kept a level head, surveyed all the issues and provided solutions to each one. He worked closely with the integrator and end user to facilitate and implement solutions that saved them both time and money.

Recently Tom received a call on a Sunday morning from a key health products customer that was up against a shipment deadline when two of their six machines went down.

Within a few hours he had both machines back on line and running faster than originally scheduled. The customer met their deadline with time to spare. They now routinely ask for Tom to provide pre maintenance service and training to keep their machines performing at high levels.
