MJSI Expands Engineering and R&D

Shorewood, IL, January 10, 2011 -- MJSI, Inc., maker of an award-winning suite of water conservation products, has announced the expansion of its engineering department, adding new personnel and increasing resources for new product research and development.

Doug Saunders, director, engineering and product development, will continue to oversee the department and will increase his time spent for new product development. Dwayne Porter, lab technician, will be joining Doug and an additional engineer is slated for hiring in the first quarter of this year. The R&D offices will be relocated from corporate headquarters to the company’s testing laboratory.

Duston Stutzman, product line manager, has been promoted to head manufacturing of the existing product line including the roll-out of some soon-to-be-announced product line extensions. Craig Horner, most recently of Caterpillar, has been added as an engineering drafter reporting to Stutzman. In addition, Matt Wyman will continue in his Q&A position, reporting to Stutzman.

“MJSI is in the midst of a very exciting period of growth,” said Rich Katzmann, chief operating officer. “Sales of our products, particularly our recently introduced HydroRight® dual flush converter, have more than met our projections. Expanding our engineering capacity will allow MJSI to more aggressively focus on a wider range of conservation product offerings. It also means that we can get into new markets that we believe have incredible opportunities for new revenue in the coming years.”
