Eric Krume
Eric has been a logger for 40 years and founded Summit in 2004 after looking for a solution that didn't exist - the self contained tong tosser. He couldn't find what he needed, so he did what all contract loggers have to do, he found a way. At night in his garage he built the first self contained tong tosser, which led to building them for his fellow loggers. Then moving into building yoders the company continued to grow, leading to the formation and exponential growth of Summit Attachments.
​
Today Eric is wholly focused on Summit. Intimately involved in all aspects of the business from design, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, training and service he continues to do what the contract logger does every day - he shows up early, stays late, and finds a way.
