"There is no one else that combines Shawn's engineering, industry and company knowledge with the fresh ideas and energy that will move our company forward during a time of high growth potential," said Vic Garmong, Pepro LLC President. "To complement Pepro's expanding product line and capabilities, we add a forward-thinking executive who can help educate the market to the advantages of our patented Faraday cage technology and help shape our innovative vision to the benefit of both customers and company."
Ausel is tasked with organizing and directing a high-growth strategy that will optimize facility utilization, apply state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, efficiently manage materials and logistics, and meet the high standards of the industry and customers.
