Kendall Wilcox is one of the three founding members of APEC. Before APEC, he started his career on the family farm and also worked for more than 15 years in the feed industry at Hough Brothers Construction and Evans Industries. During his tenure he held numerous positions from heavy equipment maintenance to field welder, truck driver/special equipment transport and operator, purchasing agent and then on to management. During APEC’s infancy, he was the lone employee, working with limited funding for the first three months of the upstart process. Kendall filled the roles of Salesperson, Engineer, and Fabricator until APEC saw enough growth to start a partnership with his former sales, engineering, and manufacturing partners at Hough/Evans. This also allowed growth for more employees.
Now overseeing more than forty-five employees, he holds the roles of CEO and CFO, specializing in the general management of the company. Mr. Wilcox studied and obtained a Heavy Equipment Technology degree and a minor in Welding from Ferris State University. Since then he has taken several continuing education short courses in business management, finance, and exports and imports.
