Fred's Role: As the president of the company, Fred is responsible for ensuring every aspect of B&B Manufacturing operates like the well-oiled machine that it is, and taking good care of employees and customers alike.

Experience: I started in manufacturing at the age of 18, and opened my first company at the age of 21. Three years later, I started working for B&B as a tool grinder, at 26 I started designing cutting tools. By the age of 30 I was designing work holding fixtures and programming complex hydraulic manifolds. Because of my gained knowledge and strong passion to teach, I was appointed into Supervision, then General Manager roles. At the age of 47 I became President of B&B.

Achieving Excellence: I'm often asked by peers about my education and what degree(s) I hold. The answer to that question is simple - I'm a "self-made man". Though not college educated, I have succeeded because of grit and a belief in life-long learning. Today, success for me means living my values, both in my personal life and in business. Success means enriching lives by engaging the talent and passion of people who believe there is always a better way, and that is how B&B achieves excellence.
