What is the secret behind opening the world’s heaviest doors and windows?
Very large, beautiful doors and windows have become a highly sought after design element in today’s modern homes and businesses, appearing in luxury spaces around the world. While a 12-foot or taller door makes a statement, when it’s time to leave, it can be a challenge to move the sheer weight of something that large quickly. So, what if your door could automatically open for you instead?
That’s the benefit of PJ and Brenda Gruetzmacher’s latest venture, Summit Automation, dedicated to bringing windows and doors to life through automation, while moving mountains of glass.
“I spent more than 30 years in the aerospace industry,” PJ Gruetzmacher, CEO of Summit Automation, says. Bringing his technical expertise from his impressive career background, including eight years in construction, and serving in the U.S. Army in Military Intelligence, his experience was essential in propelling Summit Automation success. Together with his wife Brenda Gruetzmacher, chief financial officer for Summit Automation, the duo knew that they had to find their own business to escape frequent travel, spend more time with their family and to follow their own passions.
