MINDS has shown they're willing to change the controls to meet your plant's individual needs."
In his role at MINDS, McGaughey will split his time between Indianapolis and MINDS' Las Vegas office and will be charged with expanding and liaising with the company's United States client base. He will also be involved with product development and evolution.
"The opportunity to come on board with a company that has ethics and the drive to improve our industry and is looking towards the future was too good to pass up," says McGaughey.
