Leaning Into Automation

Tinkering — that’s how John Ihrke got started in his career. While still a youngster, he was a go-to person for help on farms near his small hometown in southern Minnesota and among his family and friends. Ultimately, he became an engineer.

In addition to his extensive experience in a variety of manufacturing companies, his colleagues say Ihrke brings trustworthiness and honesty to the work environment.
