Driving Customer Success
To better support the future direction of our business—and, most importantly, to enhance the value we deliver to our customers—we are pleased to announce a strategic evolution within our leadership structure.
Effective immediately, Vikram Kaku has been named Vice President of Materials, Planning & Delivery.
Elevating Our End-to-End Capabilities

This alignment ensures that our internal production capabilities map directly to the real-world timelines and demands of our distribution partners and end-users.
“At Penn Machine, our core mission has always been anchored in three fundamental pillars: operational execution, unparalleled customer responsiveness, and scalable growth. In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, achieving these goals requires a continuous commitment to evaluation, innovation, and strategic alignment, and Vikram has these qualities in spades,” – Brian Fabian, President of Penn Machine.

Whether providing standard forged fittings or executing complex custom machining requests, our ability to deliver relies heavily on a highly coordinated supply chain.
Looking to the Future
With Vikram leading these critical workflows, our customers can look forward to even greater supply chain predictability, optimized inventory availability across our regional hubs, and streamlined delivery performance.
