Solara Management

Solara Automation

Steven Crouch, President

Steve has a BS in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech and an MBA from Duke University. He came up through the ranks in manufacturing, from draftsman to Plant Manager, before moving into corporate management in finance, marketing and operations.

"As an engineer, I can’t help getting intrigued with machine automation, however, my greatest satisfaction comes from working with really creative people and the relationships we build with our customers that give us a chance to solve new problems every day."

Engineering Design Team

Our staff of mechanical and electrical engineers bring real world experience and a hands-on knowledge of what it takes to manufacture equipment as well as the technical knowledge and design skill to drive our product manufacturing. They are intimately involved with every aspect of a project — from application engineering in the sales process through conceptual design and 3D modeling to the selection and integration of automation components into a complete machine or process.

Manufacturing Team

Our team of machinists, technicians, and machine builders work hand-in-hand with the design team to build high quality, highly reliable custom machinery. We have the expertise and in-house machining and fabrication resources to build what we design, so we maintain complete control over the entire manufacturing process. Our “build team” members machine parts and fabricate assemblies, integrate automation components, wire and plumb panels, and test and debug all of our equipment — but above all, they are obsessed with quality and craftsmanship.
