James Millich, General Manager

With over 17 years experience in the precision sheet-metal industry, my career started right here in the Bay Area where I have lived for more than 33 years. During my 17 year career, I have learned the trade from some of the most experienced personnel in the manufacturing industry.

My tenure with SAE Engineering, Inc. started in 2003. In 2005, I was promoted to General Manager. This is a position that fully utilizes the experience that I have gained over the last 17 years. Since becoming the General Manager; our customer base has increased by 30 percent, which was a challenge that was presented to me from our President, Alan Pats. Our valued employees and I have built the company on what I believe are the building blocks to a successful manufacturing company: on time delivery, honesty, and doing the job right the first time.
