Member Spotlight- Eric Lunsford- Pye Barker Engineered Solutions

Episode Summary This episode for the Manufacturing News Network (MNN), hosted by Kenzie Moss, features a Member Spotlight interview with Eric Lunsford of Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions. We had a great time discussing how Pye-Barker started as a mill supply company, and in '68 Eric's father was hired as an engineer who later bought the company. Eric's dad transformed the company from a mill supplier to an engineering supplier such as air compressors, pumps, pressure blowers, and vacuums. Eric followed in his dads footsteps, working in every department in the company, to now being the president and CEO of Pye-Barker. Pye-Barkers main goal while working with manufacturers in Georgia is efficiency.  Eric Lunsford (Yes, Eric now has a full beard, as seen in the interview!) About Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions has been serving Georgia industry since 1936.
