KMC Controls Celebrates Employee’s 52 Year Career
KMC Controls®, an industry leader in building automation, is at once delighted and saddened to announce the retirement of Chris Kreuter, an innovator whose career spanned more than 50 years with the company.
Chris' career started 52 years ago when his father, Ken Kreuter, founded Kreuter Manufacturing - today called KMC Controls.
In the late-1960s Ken realized an opportunity to form his own company. "My dad wanted to design a line of controls of our own," explained Chris, "and that's what we started doing. We built molds and dies to make our own parts and our own controls."
At the company's inception, Chris worked in partnership with his father, two of his brothers, and future brother-in-law. "I was making parts on a lathe and also on a punch press when I was a teenager," recalled Chris, three of whose brothers continue to work at KMC. Together, along with other family members lending a hand when and where needed, they fashioned parts and equipment to Ken's designs in a three-car garage. "We used to work 12, 14 hours a day if we had to."
In the mid-1970s, the young company relocated from Winnipeg, Canada to Thief River Falls, Minnesota. By the 1980s, manufacturing split off and moved to a site in New Paris, Indiana. By the close of the decade, the company had consolidated its engineering and manufacturing operations to its expanded facility in New Paris.
As the business grew, so did the scope of Chris's roles at the company. "I started doing some of the tool design in the '80s," he said, "and I was doing some of the product design in the '90s."
A small sampling of HVAC hardware he helped develop include wall-mounted sensors, the proprietary line of KMDigital controllers, the Conquest series of BACnet controllers, and the Company's new Indoor Air Quality line of controllers and measuring devices, not to mention a system for coupling an actuator to a valve or damper, for which he holds a patent.
In his more than five decades in the business, Chris has witnessed firsthand sweeping changes in technology and how it is applied to facility controls. "We went from pneumatics [controls that use compressed air as the signaling medium] to computer electronics on all aspects of a building," he said. "That was the biggest change I've seen."
In that same time span, KMC Controls has managed to grow while remaining true to its origins as a family-owned business committed to innovation and to the success of its customers.
Today, the original machine shop has given way to a state-of-the-art tool and die facility under the same roof as the engineering department and factory floor. Having all those capabilities in house remains one reason the company can take a concept from drawing to working prototype in a fraction of the time it takes other manufacturers in the controls industry.
Looking ahead, Chris said he looks forward to having more time for his hobbies. "I'll probably do a lot more hunting and fishing," he said. A pilot who has logged more than 4,000 hours in the air, he is also an avid vintage motorcycle collector.
Looking back, said Chris said he enjoys the friendships he's made at KMC. "Good folks here," he said. And he plans to check in on them at KMC from time to time. After all, it's another opportunity take one of his 1930s- and 1940s-era Harley Davidson cruisers out for a ride.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over several years. In its preliminary stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals often lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. On average, a person with Alzheimer's lives 4 to 8 years after diagnosis but can live as long as 20 years, depending on other factors.

Work From Home, Anywhere—CyberLandr Elevates the Nomad Lifestyle
Stream It, Inc., creator of CyberLandr, the disappearing RV for Tesla's Cybertruck, is bringing flexibility and newfound luxury to those seeking a digital nomad lifestyle. CyberLandr transforms Cybertruck into the ultimate lifestyle vehicle, creating a remote base station that allows digital nomads to remain connected to their work from nearly anywhere and use their cell phones even where there isn't cellular service.
A PwC survey of 1,007 employees found that 41% of workers said they never want to return to the office. With StarLink Internet connectivity from anywhere on Earth, solar panels, and a structure that disappears into Cybertruck's bed, CyberLandr allows you to take your office (and home) everywhere you go. Its aerodynamic design prioritizes energy efficiency, helping nomads to go farther and stay off the grid longer, allowing them to travel wherever their adventures take them.
"Work as we knew it was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic," said Lance King, CEO and Founder of Stream It, Inc. "One of the biggest changes has been the shift out of the office, as more people enjoy a healthier work-life balance. CyberLandr allows those who want to enjoy the nomadic lifestyle to stay productive, without sacrificing the comforts and luxuries we expect at home."
Workers are showing that a flexible lifestyle is critical to their well-being. The Great Resignation demonstrated that employees want a more fulfilling, purpose-driven lifestyle, with a record 4.5 million people resigning in March 2022. Unemployment also hit 3.6% in May 2022 for the third month in a row despite the high demand for employees, illustrating a job seeker's job market.
Employees are also reevaluating how detrimental commuting is to their lives, with 60% of workers preferring a hybrid model. Many employers have responded in kind, allowing employees to work from home for two to three days a week, according to WFH Research.
Remote workers are seizing this new age of work flexibility and ditching the normal 9-to-5 desk jobs that restrict them to a single city or location. Also known as "boondocking" or "driveway surfing," the trending #vanlife movement has sparked interest among Millennial and Gen Z workers — roughly 42% of the workforce — who are sick of skyrocketing rents and a lack of freedom. Instead, many are purchasing used passenger vans, box trucks, and even school buses, and renovating them into miniature homes. Unlike these traditional RVs that aren't fun to drive and are more limited in where they can go, CyberLandr converts the fun-to-drive Cybertruck into an RV.
Companies are embracing this new phenomenon, and CyberLandr is setting a new standard with its fully equipped turnkey solution.
