Mitch Saunders, owner of Saunders Machinery Company,
has been in the used machinery business since March of 1973. He
started out working as a salesman with Paul Roberts Machinery Corporation,
eventually working his way up to vice president of the company.
With Paul Roberts
Machinery Corporation being a member of the Machinery Dealers National
Association (M.D.N.A.), Mitch became an officer with the local Chicago
chapter for many years back in the 1980's. The foundation of M.D.N.A.
is its Code of Ethics. This association was established in 1941
to assure buyers of the integrity and reliability of used machinery
dealers.
Back in 1983,
when the Accredited Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (A.M.E.A.)
association was first formed, Mitch became one of the first members
to join the Chicago chapter. The A.M.E.A. was put together by several
members associated with the M.D.N.A. to give worldwide accredidation
to used machinery dealers and auctioneers. You had to go thru a
training session and test to become a member. With this membership,
Mitch gained additional knowledge on doing appraisal work for many
manufacturing companies.
Paul Roberts
Machinery handled all types of metalworking machine tools, from
shears, brakes and presses to automatics, drills, gear machines,
grinders, lathes, etc. and the rest. The knowledge and experience
that Mitch gained from this eventually led to his forming his own
company.
In June of
1991, Mitch started Saunders Machinery Company, based in Wheeling,
Illinois. With specific experience on certain types of machines
over the last 28 years, such as bolt & pipe threaders, broaching
machines, keyseaters, certain types of grinders & drills, etc.,
Mitch is now specializing in lapping machines for the last 15+ years.
He also sells all types of fabricating machines, C.N.C. machines,
and most types of all other metalworking machines.
