History
Engenesys was formed in August, 2009 by its two founding partners, John Paselsky and Ric Bishop. The two mechanical engineers combined their decades of design experience in the automotive industry (Ric) and packaging industry (John) to provide mechanical engineering design services for custom automation applications. Initial success was achieved with custom equipment designs for Frito Lay and Kraft Foods. Under contract with Jacobs Automation, the company made significant mechanical design contributions to the development of what is now the Rockwell iTRAK system, a revolutionary new technology for automation applications. In collaboration with engineers at Proctor and Gamble, Engenesys executed several custom robot based projects for P&G applications. A fortunate meeting at a trade show in 2013 led to the development of a strong and substantial business relationship with Toyota.
Customer needs eventually drove Engenesys to begin manufacturing its completed designs and formed the basis for the company’s current business operations. Directed by its founders, Engenesys employs talented mechanical and electrical/controls engineers and applies its engineering capabilities to the design and manufacture of custom automation and a select range of unique packaging machines. Engenesys has demonstrated the ability to successfully bring together the low-cost, short lead time requirements of automotive automation with the intricate function and high production rate demands of packaging automation. It is this experience through which the company has forged its reputation for “simple solutions to complex problems.”
