Hanwha Techwin Automation Americas, formerly Samsung C&T Automation, recently announced the ‘3 Kings’—three reps who go above and beyond to support and build the brand.

The three kings are:

This gives our principals the advantage of our people spending 100% of their time on selling equipment and not being diverted to consumables. Torenko has also been awarded Hanwha’s Top Gun rep award two consecutive years: 2018 and 2019.
Kurt Whitlock of Kurt Whitlock Associates.

Their array of companies provide unmatched solutions to meet high volume, high mix, and mid- to low-volume requirements with the same level of service and technical support.
And last but not least, Murray Percival Jr. of the Murray Percival Company. Murray Percival Company is a third-generation family owned business that is celebrating their 60th year in business this year. They are currently the leading supplier to the Midwest's electronics industry, offering thousands of capital and distribution products as well as the industry’s leading process enabler.
