Our 3D Team

Kevin Minkhorst

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

Mike started out as 3D’s first employee and has been focused on production from the beginning.  He became a shareholder and co-owner in 1999.  In 2003 he helped design our new purpose built 50,000 square foot facility and he took over as production manager in 2006.  With the introduction of state of the art welding robots, including ones with over 20’ travel, Mike has ensured that we maintain quality while increasing our production capacity.

Mike Inger
