Jeff Allen, President of C&B Machinery, has been a part of C & B for 25 years, as of January 2013. Jeff started with C & B by doing technical drawings on the side for Joe Parker, Founder & CEO. Jeff then joined C & B as a full-time engineer. Jeff had been working as Final Inspector in the Quality Control Department of
R & B Manufacturing.
“Jeff , whose dedication and work ethics are unsurpassed, is a highly valued asset to C&B. Jeff and I are “lifers” here, and I am happy to be part of his team.” – Liz Landis, Office Mgr.
Jeff has had a passion for drawing and mechanics since he was in the middle school. Jeff boasts that even on a standard engineering board he can design faster than any of the engineers can in AutoCAD. Before joining C&B Machinery, Jeff pursued a degree in architectural design at Lawrence Technological University. Along the way he married his lovely wife, Barb, and together they have three daughters. Their oldest, Melissa, has recently become engaged and is starting to plan her wedding. Their middle daughter, Kristina, just purchased her first home. Their youngest, Kayla, is pursuing a career in nursing.
One of Jeff’s favorite memories in the last 25 years was watching one of the original designs he was involved in being built, tested, and a quality run-off by C&B. Jeff, of course, has always enjoyed the family-like atmosphere which C&B Machinery promotes through its company picnics, golf outings and special events. He has enjoyed working with and getting to know all of C&B’s staff members.
