It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my father, George Huber Jr., co-founder of Industrial Kinetics and an unwavering inspiration to the company. He passed away peacefully on Friday, January 31, at the age of 85.

George Jr founded the company in 1969 and remained its president until 2012. He was bold enough and visionary enough to believe he could do better for customers, employees, and himself.  Other than his family, his company was the most important thing to him.


Going forward we endeavor to celebrate George’s contributions to the company and industry and will work to fulfill the vision he charted decades ago.




Sincerely,
George Huber III
