Key People
Donald R. Jeppe,
VP-Manufacturing

A founder and VP of Manufacturing, Don's experience in
manufacturing test fixtures and related parts goes back to 1968
when, fresh out of trade school Don went to work in a job shop
making parts for Pylon, on of the first test fixture houses in the
country.  Later, Don went to work directly for Pylon as a foreman in
their machine shop. Don's career path took him from Pylon to
another major manufacturer of test fixtures, to his own business
making and finishing test fixtures.  Don has been in the business
of making quality parts for the A.T.E. industry for more than 30
years!
