Pioneer’s Foundation
Wayne Linderman, President of Pioneer Systems
Wayne’s passion for mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems took root during his time in the US Army where he served as an Aviation Officer piloting CH-47D Chinook helicopters. His aptitude as a pilot gained him a spot in the Aviation Maintenance Officer and Maintenance Test Pilot program, where he quickly earned the respect and recognition of peers and superiors as a leader in his craft.
Since leaving the Army, Wayne has held leadership, operational and key development positions across several industries including automotive, plastics, aerospace and bulk material handling. During that time, he has gained an incredible breadth of engineering, manufacturing, sales and business knowledge for die casting, fabrication, plastics, aviation, automation and bulk material handling industries. Leveraging these 25 years of experience, Wayne founded Pioneer Systems Group.
As a 100% veteran-owned business, Pioneer Systems recognizes the sacrifice made by our armed forces and is dedicated to supporting our veterans through a variety of organizations and events. Additionally, we are a Bronze-level Veteran Friendly Employer (VFE) recognized by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency for our efforts in providing jobs and opportunities to veterans in need.
