Keith Lopez, President North/South America at Modig, says there were three things that persuaded him to join Modig after a successful career in the aerospace industry. “Modig’s potential, its products, and its people.”
Eight years after having made the move, Keith doesn’t regret it for an instant. I get to collaborate on a daily basis with people who dedicate their lives to machining centers that best serve the automative and aerospace industries, says Keith.
Before joining Modig, Keith was one of Modig’s customers. Even as a customer, I felt part of the Modig family. They were a team that listened to our specific needs and were inclusive, he says. It was incredible to see David Modig sketch out ideas for a machine on a napkin, chuckles Keith. Here was someone brought up on a tradition of pulling machines apart, understanding their complexities and utility, and determined to build something new, something better.
David’s approach is something that lies at the very heart of the company.

Although Keith appreciated working alongside Modig’s team, what really impressed him before joining the company was not just creativity: it was the performance benefit clients got when using Modig machinery. If you have the right machine – something that outperforms your competitors – you have a competitive advantage in the market, says Keith.
“Whether it’s our employees, our suppliers, or customers, Modig truly values people. Through dialogue, support, and a genuine passion for technology and business, Modig’s culture and approach to business is a win for everyone involved.”
