Congratulations to Bob Lundgreen for 20 years at JR Automation!👏

Bob began his time at JR Automation as a Senior Mechanical Engineer, serving in that role until 2018 when he stepped into his current position as a Project Manager.

Looking back, one of his favorite memories is leading a battery test and load project for an automotive company.

His best advice for anyone building a career in manufacturing is to surround yourself with great teammates. Bob knows the value of this firsthand, having worked with the same core group of people for the past 14 years.

Please join us in celebrating Bob Lundgreen on this incredible milestone!
