My Experience
We have a great team that I lead here at Blue Arc. Our engineering department continues to come up with new innovations and technologies that change the automation and material handling industries. Our manufacturing team is flush with experts in metal fabrication and provide top notch crafstmanship.
Working at Bastian
The people at Blue Arc make it a great place to work. In addition to having very bright, analytical minds we also have good people. Many of our folks are active in their local communities and are all around good citizens.
Why do customers come back to me?
We are blessed at Blue Arc to have a very high customer retention rate. I believe a lot of this has to do with our level of expertise and the service we provide.
A little bit about myself
My wife Amy and I live outside of Greenfield, Indiana on a small farm with our three kids. We raise crossbred Angus cattle that we sell as freezer beef, as well as all as our own hay. Between the farm work and kid's activities there is never a dull moment!

Project work I am most proud of
A recent automation project I worked on involved automation in an extreme duty environment - 2,000 degree F parts in a vacuum chamber! We developed and built robotic manipulators that could "live" within this environment and invented some new technologies to keep our machines healthy in this application. We have also had some monumental breakthroughs in our material handling division such as our new ZiPline accumulation belt conveyor. It is a new green technology conveyor that is much different than anything else available on the market.
