Director of Supply Chain ABOUT THE COMPANY SawStop is a technology-focused company that has become a world leader in premium table saws and accessories. SawStop’s woodworking machines are equipped with Active Injury Mitigation (AIM), a technology the company pioneered. AIM detects contact between the user and the cutting surface and removes the hazard in less than 5 milliseconds, avoiding serious injury. SawStop was founded in 2000 after the invention of their core AIM technology. The founders created a new table saw incorporating AIM technology as well as many other improvements. That saw was an immediate success when released in late 2004 and the company has since essentially taken over the industrial table saw market. SawStop now has over 200,000 saws in the field and has saved many thousands of fingers with their groundbreaking technology. SawStop was founded by patent attorneys with backgrounds in science and engineering, and the company recognizes the value of innovation and technology.

TTS (and their largest company, Festool) has a long and proven record of precision high-tech products. SawStop and Festool each focus on premier products in their respective markets and have minimal product overlap. SawStop’s history has taken it from humble beginnings to North American dominance.

We are excited to announce our recent collaboration with Skutt Ceramic Products, resulting in the placement of their new Chief Financial Officer! Skutt Ceramic Products began in 1953 when Ralph and Neil Skutt manufactured the industry’s first multi-sided hobby kiln in Olympia, Washington under the name “Skutt & Sons”. The introduction of this new lightweight design revolutionized not just the ceramic kiln business but the whole ceramic industry by bringing ceramics to the home. A lot has changed over the last 70+ years. Kiln companies have come and gone, new clay bodies and glazes are constantly being developed that demand greater firing precision, and automatic controllers are quickly replacing the once cutting edge KilnSitter. Throughout the years Skutt has worked hard to meet the changing needs of their customers, but one thing that has remained constant is their fierce dedication to manufacturing quality products and providing outstanding customer service. They realize that every object placed in a Skutt kiln has value. It could be a child’s horse that looks more like a dog or a master potters $20,000 commissioned sculpture. Both of these artists are counting on their kiln to do its job and they don’t want to let them down. Congratulations to Skutt, and the 180one Search Team on a successful executive placement!
