Burr King Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer of high-quality industrial machinery, announces the retirement of one of its most dedicated and longstanding team members, Steve Harker. Mr. Harker has dedicated nearly five decades of his life to Burr King Manufacturing, playing a vital role in the company's growth and success.

Steve Harker's journey with Burr King Manufacturing began while he was still in college, where he started as a dedicated member of the machine shop, responsible for milling, drilling, and assembling Burr King machines. His dedication, hard work, and commitment to the company's vision were immediately apparent, setting the stage for a remarkable career with the company.

Over the years, Mr. Harker transitioned into the "sales" department, where he excelled in his role, becoming a trusted ambassador for the Burr King brand, becoming known as Mr. Burr King.

Beyond his professional career, Steve Harker has a passion for Model A cars, working on automobiles, and collecting gas and oil memorabilia, reflecting his love for all things mechanical.

Throughout his extensive tenure, Steve Harker was responsible for covering Southern California and Hawaii for Burr King Manufacturing, forging strong relationships with clients and industry partners along the way. His dedication to the company's values and the quality of its products earned him not only the respect of his colleagues but also the admiration of Burr King customers.

As he chooses to step aside and retire, Burr King Manufacturing acknowledges the tremendous contribution that Steve Harker has made to the company over the years. Don MacCarthy Jr., President of Burr King, expressed his sentiments, saying, "Steve is not only a valuable asset to Burr King, but he has been a lifelong friend, and all of us at Burr King wish him the very best as he begins to enjoy the fruits of his labor."

Steve Harker's retirement will be effective as of December 1, 2023, and his territory will be passed on to Kenbil Engineering, a trusted partner of Burr King. Kenbil Engineering has recently expanded its collaboration with Burr King, and will now be serving all of California.
