Jim joined the team in 2007 and is the Metal Finishing Equipment Sales Representative for Paschal Associates.  His territory includes Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.  While in his current position for only 9 years, he has worked in metal finishing and mining since 1987.

With nearly 30 years of service in the industry, Jim works directly with customers to identify problems and the customized, usually new applications to solve them.  He especially appreciates Paschal’s ability to combine a variety of equipment options for different applications, which eliminates the need for the customers to contact several suppliers.

“It’s helpful and definitely more efficient when you can provide customers with complete, customized solutions.  They appreciate the value in that, and I enjoy the challenge of a diverse scope of geographically specific production issues.  I believe there will be more and more automation in the future.  Even now, customers would like to see less handling of products and more automated flow from one process to another.”
