AUBURN HILLS, MI — Patti Engineering Inc., a control system integration company, announces that Mike Rowe has joined the company as Business Development Manager for its Michigan office.
Rowe brings more than 20 years of experience in electrical engineering, electronics, controls, technical sales, and business development. In his new role, he will work with manufacturers across Michigan and the Midwest to evaluate automation investments, modernize existing systems, and improve plant-floor performance.
“Mike knows the technology, and he knows how manufacturers actually make these decisions,” said Sam Hoff, CEO of Patti Engineering. “That combination is hard to find. Our clients evaluate serious automation investments under production pressure, and Mike can sit across the table and work through the engineering with them. That is how we want to show up in the Midwest.”
Rowe has held business development and technical leadership positions with Autoliv, Brose North America, Inalfa Roof Systems, Webasto Roof Systems, and Robert Bosch. Throughout his career, he has developed new automotive business, managed complex electronics programs, led OEM relationships, and translated engineering requirements into practical commercial solutions. He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Kettering University and a master’s degree in engineering management from Oakland University.
“I spent two decades solving hard electronics and controls problems for manufacturers,” Rowe said. “Patti Engineering has the technical depth and the follow-through to take those problems on, and that drew me here. I am looking forward to helping manufacturers in all verticals improve their OEE.”
