July 31, 2026 — Makers Equipment is pleased to announce the addition of Travis Peck as its new Vice President of Business Development & Communications, bringing together more than a decade of experience in communications, marketing, digital media, promotions, advertising, higher education and relationship development.

In his new role, Peck will work closely with Makers Equipment President and CEO Rusty Rainbolt to expand the company's reach, strengthen business relationships and communicate the capabilities of Makers Equipment to manufacturers, fabricators, educators, industry partners and customers throughout the United States and beyond.

Makers Equipment is developing a new approach to industrial metal forming through CNC-controlled hydroforming and metal-forming equipment designed to deliver industrial capability without the footprint, infrastructure and cost traditionally associated with large manufacturing machinery. The company's equipment is designed for flexibility, efficiency and accessibility, with solutions that can operate in a variety of shop environments and support low- to medium-volume production.

“I'm excited to join Makers Equipment at a time when the company has an opportunity to introduce a different way of thinking about metal forming and manufacturing,” Peck said. “I'm looking forward to bringing my experience to Makers Equipment and working alongside Rusty and the entire team as we grow the company.”

Peck joins Makers Equipment following six years as Director of Alumni Relations at Rogers State University, where he worked extensively in communications, engagement, events, marketing, fundraising and relationship development.

Rainbolt said, “His understanding of how to tell our story and connect with customers and industry partners will help us introduce Makers Equipment to a much broader audience.”

Peck said, “Now I have the opportunity to help tell the story of an innovative American manufacturing company and help build the relationships that can take it to the next level. That's incredibly exciting.”
