Industrial equipment manufacturer for automotive service centers and truck shops
Hunter Engineering manufactures wheel alignment systems, tire service equipment, brake lathes, and vehicle inspection gear for automotive repair shops. The company is scaling aggressively across sales (57 open roles) and support (21) while maintaining a legacy manufacturing footprint—suggesting expansion into new verticals or geographies rather than automation of existing operations. Active hiring across US and Canada, with current velocity accelerating.
Hunter Engineering designs and sells automotive service equipment to independent repair shops and dealerships. Founded in 1946, the company holds over 350 patents and releases 7–10 new patents annually. The product line spans wheel alignment, balancing, tire changing, brake service, vehicle inspection, and heavy-duty truck service equipment. The company operates a dedicated sales organization of 390+ representatives and 410+ independent service reps across North America. Operations span manufacturing, field service, and compliance-heavy logistics (export documentation, OSHA/EPA guidelines). Current headcount sits between 1,001–5,000.
