Kevin McClay
Upon receiving a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Cal
Poly, San Luis Obispo in 1977, Mr. McClay held two
manufacturing engineering positions (Memorex & CMX/Orrox)
in electonics manufacturing over a four-year period. In 1981,
he joined Production Specialties (a Manufacturers Representative)
as a Sales Engineer and fullfilled that role for two years.
Mr. McClay then moved into a management role with Intelledex,
Inc. (a robot Manufacturer and Systems House) as District
Manager for two years and then onto Media Test Specialties
(MTS) as Director of Sales. At MTS he had worldwide responsibility
for the sales and service of $9 million/yr of rigid disk testing
equipment. In 1987, Kevin returned to Production Specialties
with an MBA from Santa Clara University and
began to help the company grow.
Between 1987 and 1992, Production Specialties grew from having
five lines with $2 million in sales to eleven lines with over
$4 million in sales. At that time, Kevin left Production Specialties
and founded Captec.
