Joe received a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) in 1979 from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management in 1982. He has been involved in manufacturing his entire career. He holds five patents involving high performance microwave telecommunications circuit board technologies and has been a registered professional engineer and a member of the IPC and IEEE.
Mr. Turek’s career started in 1970 on the manufacturing floor of his parents’ company called West-Tronics. He cut his teeth on engineering design, lean manufacturing and six sigma quality control in bare printed circuit fabrication. By 1980 he was running the company and successfully purchased the assets from his parents in 1988. The focus now became Microwave Printed Circuits and five years later he took the company public under the name M-Wave. With the rise in cellular communications, Mr. Turek grew M-Wave to a $100M company and then again sold it in a reverse merger in 2008 spinning off the public shell and creating the private entity M-Wave International.
Finally, after a career of 50 years in manufacturing, Mr. Turek successfully sold these entities in 2020 to allow him the freedom to continue sharing his decades of experience with other similar business owners.
Along his path, Mr. Turek used his entrepreneurial talents in engineering and management to create companies that span Restaurants, Microbreweries, Microwave Power Amplifiers, Electronic Components, Microwave Printed Circuits, Restaurant Control Circuits, Airline Charter Services, Air Purifiers, Wireless Power Distribution, Music Products, Hearing Aids, Distribution of Cleaning Supplies, Medical Equipment Refurbishment and Domestic and Asian Contract Manufacturing. Buying, growing, and selling businesses are second nature to Mr. Turek and the type of industry has no bounds.
