This week, we’ll continue to meet the faces behind the AK Material Handling Systems brand. This week, we’re going to meet a member of the inside sales team, Adam Hansen. Adam plays a crucial role here at AK, and we were excited to interview and share with you a little more about him. Turns out, we learned some pretty interesting things as well (including the fact that he’s double-jointed in his thumb. The more you know…)

We just keep setting the bar higher and higher and we continue to reach our goals.
