Congratulations Karn!
Karn began his full-time working life at just 16 years old, spending 14 years in forestry – one of the most demanding industries in the South Island. During this time, Karn worked his way up through the ranks, operating heavy machinery, handling basic repairs on the fly, and learning firsthand how critical hydraulic reliability is when you’re deep in the forest and every breakdown costs time, money, and safety.
After more than a decade in the industry, Karn made the decision to step out of forestry and into hydraulics.
