James (Jimbo) Kunkel
Executive VP in Charge of Sales
After 25 years with Sandee, there's very little Jimbo doesn't know about any machine, any profile or any process in the company. "But I continue to learn about extrusion and how to run this business each and every day," he says. Jimbo's responsibilities include—but are not limited to—production, fabrication, shipping, maintenance, scheduling, sales and purchasing. He's definitely not a decaf guy.

Cindy's career with Sandee spans more than 20 years, working in virtually every department in the company. This valuable experience allows Cindy to quickly and precisely determine exactly what her clients need and exactly who within the company can deliver the right solution.

Jim Tavenner, Sales Representative
Jim Tavenner
Sales Representative
Jim received a bachelor's degree in Education from Wittenberg University, but his path to success started much earlier, as he began working full-time in an insurance brokerage while still in high school. A sales career proved to be an ideal fit for a fellow who's proud to say, "I don't know a stranger." Jim brings 23 years of sales and management experience to Sandee, and he loves forming enduring relationships. If there's one thing he hates, though, it's loose ends—so he takes great pains to follow through on every detail for every client.
