Hartman, confident in a smooth transition of roles, commented, “Taking into consideration Skip’s exceptional experience and background, his strategic leadership and his contribution to the company’s rapid growth, there is no one else I could have imagined assuming the role as CEO.” 

With more than 40 years in the material handling industry, Eastman has vast experience managing projects that encompass rack, ASRS, push back and flow-through storage systems.
