How many people reach a point to celebrate five complete decades working in the same industry? Better yet, who remembers the exact date they began their career? Bonomi Valves’ Rick Wentzell does. On Oct. 1, 1971, Wentzell began his career in the PVF industry and since that time has grown passionate about creating product, figuring out how best to sell it, and now, training the folks coming up.
Supply House Times Chief Editor Natalie Forster spoke with Wentzell to hear what a 50-year career in PVF means to him, how things have changed over the years and get his take on the current landscape.
