Eight months after the announcement that Kannegiesser had acquired E-Tech and formed “Kannegiesser ETECH”, the company has announced yet another exciting internal integration. The Integrated Solutions Team (IST) consists of Laundry Design Specialist and Project Managers who are dedicated to optimizing system designs and transitioning projects from sales to service.
“As we move into 2018 the focus will be on our aggressive growth plan and further integration of our systems and teams,” says Joseph Schult, VP-COO. “With that said, I would like to introduce another exciting integrated team that really looks to provide a path not only for future growth but for a higher level of integrated solutions that we will offer to our customers.”

Dave 
Tannert, Director of Integrated Solutions
Tannert joined the Kannegiesser family as a Regional Sales Manager for the Western Region in 2012, and in 2015 accepted the role of Director of Operations. “Our Integrated Solutions Team will revolutionize our customer’s buying experience,” Tannert said. “We have a tremendous mix of talent and industry experience within our new department.

Lindblom graduated North Dakota State University in 2005 with a Mechanical Engineering Degree. He then started work at E-Tech in Project Management where he spent days on the jobsite attending sales kickoff meetings, site surveys, managing installations crews and installing monorail and starting the systems up. Around 2009 his role changed as he was onsite testing and commissioning all the monorail projects. He worked closely with the programming department and helped streamline the commissioning process as well as eliminating the need for programmers to be onsite for the testing and commissioning phase. In 2015 after a 2 year pause from E-TECH he returned as the Scheduling and Installation Project Manager where he is responsible for all the project schedules and installation management for ETECH projects.
