Binder Machinery Company, based in South Plainfield, NJ, recently recognized Vice President Bill Kretschmer for “his many years of commitment, devotion and unselfish service” by presenting him with the company’s William L. Morrison President’s Award.

Kretschmer joined Binder Machinery on Sept. 17, 1979, as a general line salesperson. His success in that position led him into sales management and eventually to the position he holds today — vice president of sales.

“There couldn’t be a finer example of loyalty within the company than that shown by Bill [Kretschmer],” said Bob Binder, chairman of Binder Machinery. “Bill’s totally unquestioned integrity and solid, common-sense solution to business issues, along with and unwavering care for customers are just a few ways he has demonstrated his excellence during the past 25 years.”
