Prior to establishing VMS, Hunter spent over a decade employed at Coe Press Equipment which was founded by his father John Coe in 1976. Beginning in 2008, Hunter held positions ranging from Assembly, Service and Sales Associate to Strategic Sales Manager before serving as President in 2015 and, ultimately, the role of CEO in 2017. Under his direction, the company launched a profitable cut-to-length systems business line expanding into new markets and earning him recognition as one of DBusiness Magazine’s 30 In Their Thirties business professionals in 2016.

Those who interact with Hunter understand his genuine enthusiasm for people, networking, creative and quick problem solving along with a healthy dose of humor. These characteristics combined with his broad industry knowledge and executive experience in coil processing is where the foundation of Visionary Manufacturing Solutions quickly came into focus. Hunter’s objective is to lead his organization in providing a streamlined, single access point for customers to easily inquire about and purchase machinery for multiple metal form, stamping and coil equipment operations. This approach evolved from Hunter’s high standard for the ideal customer experience and recognition of the need for a dedicated, value-added B2B service capable of delivering customized, comprehensive equipment solutions in an integrated manufacturing environment.
