Description
The history of Right Mfg. Systems Inc. is an interesting one. The owners, Brian and Laura Pittard started out by being involved in a family manufacturing business. During this time, Brian was attending the University of Utah to obtain his Mechanical Engineering degree. As a senior, he funded a design project with a team of other engineers in his class. Their project was to design a new drive system for a mobile cement mixer that could be towed behind a pick-up truck. The mixer concept had a drive system that would turn the mixer automatically without a motor as it was being towed down the road. The mixer also had a drive system that was so efficient that it would turn 10,000 lbs. of concrete with an 8 hp gasoline motor at an idle.
