Fritz Ruebeck, CEO

Outlook for your company: At Classic Automation, we anticipate increased sales in 2018 based on strong economic conditions both internationally and domestically. With sales to over 80 countries, we are not dependent on any one economy for business.

Biggest challenge: We continue to struggle with finding local qualified candidates to hire. Skilled electronics technicians are in high demand in the Rochester area.

Biggest opportunity: In 2018 Classic Automation is introducing a wider range of systems’ parts and services to meet the growing and ever-shifting demands of our customers. We help keep the world’s production running.
