Chuck has many years of experience as a machine designer, project coordinator and cost estimator. His experience in the areas of design and manufacturing provides insight in the analysis of manufacturing process problems. He offers practical solutions and creative ideas to solve design problems by providing concepts and direction for projects.

Background

Mr. Seeliger had "hands on" experience with manufacturing processes while working for Art's Way Manufacturing. He joined Berkley & Company/Pure Fishing where he worked in manufacturing engineering as a machine designer. There he designed special machines and tooling for in plant use. At Doerfer Companies he made the transition to commercial engineering. There, Chuck was a specialist in automated machinery and integrated systems. Later his wide experience fit the need Doerfer had for application of technology to sales. He supported the technical sales group and was liaison to the engineering group by coordinating brainstorm and estimating sessions and preparing proposals. For several years he was an estimator at their manufacturing operation. At Diedrichs, he is a technical advisor, project coordinator/estimator and machine designer.
