Leadership Team

Dave Perin, President:
Dave began Perin Machining Company, formerly Automatic Machine Products, in his father’s garage in 1980. The part-time operation grew rapidly and by 1982 the company was a full-time business. Today, during our peak seasons, the company is running 21-hour days producing component parts for the major appliance, automotive, hydraulic and agriculture industries. Dave is still a part of daily operations and drives the company towards the same fundamentals he built the company on: an exceptional product, with exceptional service, at an exceptional price. Dave has been married to his wife, Beth, for 35 years, and they have eight children.

​Brent Hummel, Maintenance Manager:
Brent has been with Perin Machining Company for more than 20 years, and now serves as our shop floor maintenance manager. He is both a master mechanic and a key component in developing the most efficient production cycles possible for our customers’ parts. Brent’s innovation has played a major role in the company’s ability to price itself competitively against less efficient foreign manufacturers. Brent is an avid motorsports fan, and can be found at the racetrack most weekends.

​Rick Arkland, Production Manager:
Rick has been with Perin Machining Company for 30 years, and is the company’s longest serving employee. Rick’s history with the company and extensive machining background make him an ideal manager for our shop floor. Rick is certified in Lean Six Sigma concepts, and significantly improves our overall efficiencies through real time job costing, and applying proven lean concepts to our daily operations. Rick is a professional football fan, hunting sportsman, father of four, and has been married to his wife, Jennifer, for 18 years.

Scott Kepler, Quality Manager:
Scott began working for Perin Machining Company 25 years ago, while still finishing his senior year of high school. Scott has a reputation for meticulous attention to detail, which eventually made him the ideal candidate for our quality management position. Scott maintains quality control through state-of-the-art statistical process control software, and his 25 years of machining background. Away from work Scott can be found cheering his son on at the local high school football games, hunting, fishing, riding his Harley, and enjoying time with Misty, his wife of 18 years.
