  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and documentation
  • Familiarity with machining tools, such as mills, lathes, and grinders
  • Experience with BOM changes, purchasing, and materials handling

  • Willingness to travel occasionally for field service and customer installations
Responsibilities
  • Build and assemble mechanical sub-assemblies and stations that come together as complete automation systems

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Life sciences orders validate Lanco’s strength in regulated manufacturing programs.
  • Service expansion creates cross-sell opportunities across engineering, validation, and lifecycle support.
  • Industry 4.0 positioning fits labor shortages and traceability-driven manufacturing demands.

What critics are saying

  • Custom-project revenue stays lumpy and sensitive to customer capex pauses.
  • Service expansion fails without scalable field support, spares, and lifecycle execution.
  • Global footprint adds delivery friction, regional shocks, and multinational customer concentration.

What makes Lanco Integrated unique

  • Bob Kuniega has led Lanco since September 2021.
  • Lanco builds custom automated assembly and test machines for small-to-medium parts.
  • The company pairs Maine headquarters with a Malaysia operation for local global support.
