History
Maintenance Engineering was founded on January 17, 1974, in Fargo ND, by co-owners Curt Kesselring and Dennis Leno. Curt, who serves as President, worked his way through college selling Fuller Brush and graduated with degrees in math and physics. He is responsible for overall company operations, including product development, marketing support and sales support.
Dennis is Vice President and has extensive sales experience ranging from life insurance sales to furniture sales to lighting sales. Dennis is responsible for sales training and management.
Both men grew up on farms in North Dakota. Their attitudes and philosophies about hard work can be credited to their agricultural heritage. Today, those lessons learned on the farm carry over to building the largest and finest, Premium Quality Lighting Company in the nation!
Curt and Dennis met while working for a shopping mall development company.
Many nights were spent sharing business ideas and getting to know each other's strengths. When the development company began experiencing difficulties, they were forced to look
for other job opportunities. A short time later Dennis called Curt to tell him about a new business idea. Dennis' idea was to start a company selling high quality light bulbs. He went on to explain that he had spent some time selling lighting for an industrial lighting company and had experienced great success. Unfortunately, this company, too, was going out of business.
The lighting company they founded provides a product that everyone needs, plus solves the burnout problems most people experience with their current lighting. Curt's math and physics background convinced them that a product could be made, that would last longer than what most companies were offering. Dennis' commitment to the needs of his customers was the basis and foundation Maintenance Engineering was built on, Premium Quality Products and Service!
The name, Maintenance Engineering, was chosen because of the Company's focus on maintenance engineers, the people who would benefit most from lighting products that last longer, solve problems and increase their productivity.
