George Kueppers

Biography

Michael Kopper, Centrisys/CNP C.E.O. and founder, met Kueppers at the local fitness club. At that time, Kueppers did not know what a centrifuge was, let alone that he would play a key role to help create a global company leading the industry with innovative centrifuge designs. After its founding as a decanter centrifuge service provider, Centrisys began to manufacture its own brand of decanter centrifuges. The company studied centrifuges – what worked, what did not and why. This expertise translated into the ability to service any make or model of decanter centrifuges.

As Centrisys grew, Kueppers’ team maintained the service integrity and responsiveness of a small startup, a quality he credits for the company’s strong growth. Under Kueppers’ direction as the Service Director, the company built a massive domestic supplier network that provides 85 percent of its centrifuge parts and maintains a substantial inventory to ensure unparalleled service around the world. Kueppers also worked hand-in-hand with the Centrisys engineering team to re-engineer and optimize parts for all brands of decanter centrifuges.

With Kueppers promotion to VP and Product Innovation in 2021, he will work side-by-side with the engineering, R&D and service teams to continue to drive centrifuge innovation forward at Centrisys.
