MACROMATIC - Key Persons
Chris Curtis is recognized as a top global leader in technology and manufacturing. During his 30-year career, Chris has extensive strategic and operating experience with manufacturing companies in the aerospace, electrical, climate control, and water/wastewater industries.
Most recently Chris served as CEO of Wencor Group, a private equity owned aerospace aftermarket specialist. From 2008 through 2013, he was President and CEO of Schneider Electric North America.

Eric leads the new product development and sustaining engineering efforts at Macromatic. Over his 15 years with the company, Eric has made "Better. By Design." his mission. Technological innovation, design for manufacturability, and a strong customer focus has led to countless new and improved Macromatic products.
An avid outdoorsman, Eric enjoys hunting, fishing, backpacking, and canoeing. In particular, he looks forward to canoeing the BWCA/Quetico Wilderness each year. Leaving the city behind provides a welcome break, but it is the unknown challenges and discoveries ahead that make the journey interesting.
"When you encounter an obstacle out there, you have to overcome it. You have to be creative and push yourself, failure is not an option." Explained Eric. "Product development is much the same. The obstacles are great, but so is our resolve. I look forward to the challenge."
Scott is the Manufacturing Manager for Macromatic. He has been with Macromatic since 2006 and has been in his current role since 2014. He advanced to his current position by constantly striving to learn and get better at everything he does.
Scott spends his free time with his wife and three daughters. He also really enjoys the game of cornhole. As corny as it sounds, the game offers a brief distraction from the daily grind. The game is more strategic than it looks and as one learns and gets better, different strategies improve one's game.
"What I love about cornhole is that every game and opponent is different and presents its own set of challenges," Scott explained. "As a leader, a teacher and innovator at Macromatic, my challenges are similar. My passion is working with our manufacturing group to continually introduce better processes and new technology, to meet increasing customer requirements with on-time delivery."

Steve has a huge passion for motorsports - Harley Davidson in particular. Hitting the open road and putting the day's stresses and problems temporarily behind him is therapeutic. The ultimate reward is reaching his destination and enjoying the camaraderie of fellow Harley enthusiasts from all walks of life.
"What I admire most about Harley Davidson is the iconic brand and customer loyalty they have created," Steve explained. "My job is to expand the Macromatic brand to a larger portion of the Industrial market. Customers that deal with us today love us. Sometimes I feel we are one of the best kept secrets in the market."
