Effective August 7th, 2023, Blake Cantrell has joined Triosim as a Process Improvement Technician. He will be reporting to Troy Miller. After some in depth training to learn more about Triosim and our product/service offerings, Blake will perform washer efficiency studies and pump bore scope studies in support of our sales efforts in the related product areas. Blake comes to us from Georgia Pacific where he held positions in production, process control, and management.

These washer efficiency studies (which include leaf testing) have proven to provide meaningful data to guide changes that result in significant measurable benefit for our customers. In addition, the bore scope studies used in conjunction with vacuum efficiency studies help our customers keep their vacuum pumps running efficiently. Driving process efficiency through support and product changes/upgrades is just another way that Triosim is committed to serving our customers. Blake’s contribution will be an important part of our overall support package and we look forward to having him on the team.

Please join us in welcoming Blake to our Triosim team!
