What would you do to land aerospace work in just two years? Join Shawn Brown from SBSOLOCO as he takes you inside Motor Control Technology, a two-person shop making big moves in the aerospace industry.
In this video, shop owner Hans Kessler shares his journey—from working as a bike mechanic to running a precision aerospace shop. Starting out in a garage with no insulation, Hans faced frozen coolant tanks and sleepless nights to build the shop he runs today.
Now AS9100 certified, Motor Control Technologies boasts impressive capabilities, including five-axis machining, a CMM for pristine part inspection, and innovative tools like UV-cured epoxy fixtures. Hans also reveals how his small team handles the high demands of aerospace machining while keeping up with industry standards.
