Renkus-Heinz strengthens Production and Engineering Departments
L-R: Joe Kaveney, Andrew Gizara
Renkus-Heinz, a company with expertise in the development of innovative loudspeaker technology, continues to build both production and engineering departments with the addition of two new team members: Joe Kaveney assumes the role of Industrial Engineering Manager and Andrew Gizara joins as Electrical Engineer.
Kaveney brings a wealth of engineering expertise to his new role combined with a love of music. His diverse career spans from earning a U.S. patent in the solar industry to implementing approved processes in the aerospace sector. Alongside his professional accomplishments, Kaveney's lifelong passion for music includes playing instruments, producing live events, and building interactive art installations. “I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to leverage my passion for music and sound with my professional experience in process design and efficiency,” says Kaveney. “It is my pleasure to assist with the industrialization of our business by establishing a robust fabrication process with an optimized supply chain – ultimately resulting in a truly lossless pro-audio experience from raw material to consumer.”
Joining the engineering department is Andrew Gizara, a prolific inventor with an impressive portfolio of over twenty U.S. and foreign patents whose distinguished career spans decades in the fields of scientific instrumentation, AI, computers, networking/telephony, chips, and aerospace. The move to Renkus-Heinz marks Gizara’s return to his first passion - audio electronics, where his fascination began in his early teens through experimenting with and building loudspeakers, amplifiers, mixers and music synthesizers. Beyond his engineering prowess, Andrew's creative side flourishes through playing piano, violin, synthesizers, and recording his own compositions that blend jazz with electronic music. “I am thrilled to join a leading company in a competitive field providing products that I have always held great passion for building and actively experimenting with,” says Gizara. “It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to continue to further the development of such an innovative and pioneering enterprise.”
Kaveney will be working closely with VP Operations Jim Mobley to optimize the production process while Gizara will be working with Engineering Manager Chad DeFranco in product design and development. “I’m delighted to welcome Joe and Andrew to the team,” remarks DeFranco. “They are both incredibly passionate about what we do, and their experience in their respective fields will be a great benefit to our family. Joe is highly qualified, and his understanding of industrial processes across various industries will enable us to continue to improve our manufacturing, whilst Andrew brings with him a background in modern electronics hardware design with an amazing record of innovation. We’re lucky to have them both!”
