Leadership
The team that owns and runs 3D Storage Systems day to day.
Kevin Minkhorst
President
Kevin was one of the original founders of 3D Storage Systems, which was first incorporated in 1992. His previous background in territory sales for a major racking firm gave him a good understanding of what our dealers needed in the way of support. Kevin was Vice President of Sales until 2008 at which time he took on the role of President.
Mike Scott
VP, Manufacturing
Mike started out as 3D’s first employee, focused on production from the beginning. He became a shareholder and co-owner in 1999, helped design our purpose-built 50,000 sq ft facility in 2003, and took over as production manager in 2006. With state-of-the-art welding robots — including ones with over 20’ of travel — Mike has maintained quality while increasing capacity.
Mike Inger
VP, Sales
Mike came to work at 3D in 2007 after completing a college diploma in Sales and Marketing. As he built his knowledge and skill set, he transitioned from inside sales and design, to outside sales and then to his present position managing sales of our pushback, pallet flow and carton flow products for all markets. In 2020, we further recognized Mike’s contributions to 3D by adding him to the ownership team.
Alicia Katsavos
VP, Finance
Alicia has been involved in accounting since 2003 and started her own independent bookkeeping firm in 2006. In 2012 she contracted with 3D on a part time basis and joined us full time in 2018. In 2020 she became part of the ownership team and now looks after all aspects of accounting and administration within our organization.
Tushar Karanwal
VP, Marketing, Process & IT
Tushar graduated from Ontario Tech University with a degree in mechanical engineering and joined 3D in 2016. He left to broaden his experience at a conveyor company, a rack manufacturer, and a bulk material handling firm before returning in 2022. Now a member of our ownership group, his responsibilities span Marketing, Sales, Design, IT, and Process Improvement.
