According to Mark Snyder, Channel Director Festo Corp., “One of the most impressive things about PennAir is its holistic approach to business. This automation distributor is creating a culture where team members know they make a difference for customers by listening, possessing a sense of urgency, and responding professionally. PennAir’s business acumen and culture have resulted in sustained growth with its industrial and commercial end use customers as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The company has an amazing ‘can-do’ attitude.”

“Our customers rely on PennAir to provide top products, services, and training,” said Conrad Rhein, PennAir’s Director of Sales. “Festo pneumatic and electric automation solutions, and the people who create them, are the industry gold standard.
