Baysek Enjoys (CONT’D FROM PAGE 18)

Mark Helbach spent 25 years in the truck equipment industry in various sales and management positions. “I al- ways stayed in touch with my father about Baysek, and I took vacation time from work to join and assist him at trade shows in his early years,” he says. “I was very fortunate to have joined when I did. There was a great base of people in place, and the most difficult developmental work was complete.” Vern Engle is stepping back as his son, Tim, who joined the company last year, takes over the same position that his father has held since the company’s inception in 1995. “It has been an honor to work with Dave Helbach,” Engle says. “I learned a lot from him, had a lot of fun and man- aged to sell a few machines in the process.” Tim Engle has been in the corrugated industry for more than 20 years, owing his involvement and success to his father and Dave Helbach, who is his uncle. “I remember growing up and always wondering what Uncle Dave did,” he says. “I knew it had something to do with cardboard boxes but how many people really need a box?” Previously, Tim Engle was with A.G. Stacker and Haire Group. “I always knew that I wanted to work with family at Baysek, the timing just needed to be right for everyone,” he says. “With my father retiring last March, the timing was a natural change for me. I am excited to be here and be part of the Baysek team, and in the corrugated industry in general.

embraced his original philosophy of customer care and vendor respect. One key Baysek representative was Vern Engle, former North American Sales Agent. “I admired Baysek because customer care was always more import- ant than the next machine sale,” Engle says. “The custom- er never had to worry.”

Baysek’s legacy is strong, with several family members involved. Helbach, who was President, retired in 2017, turn- ing over the reins to his son, Mark, who joined the compa- ny in 2015. His son-in-law, David Waldoch is Vice President and has been employed since 2000, and his daughter, Heidi Pronschinske, is Marketing Manager since 2010.
