When I was searching for the next step of my career, I read the mission of this family-owned manufacturing business, and I was immediately impressed. I wanted to be a part of something special – unique. I have found the principles that guide the leadership of Kundel Industries to be a refreshing change from a business-as-usual approach in this industry. I am honored be a part of a company that values ministry as much as it values providing quality custom material handling and trench safety equipment.
