Rob Hrabe, the President and CEO of VRC Metal Systems, grew his company's revenue from $842,000 in 2014 to $7,3 million in 2017, a 766% increase, and to around $16.8 million in 2018.  

VRC Metal Systems provides high pressure cold spray systems and process development.  

In this interview with Eversprint's Malcolm Lui, Rob shares how he and his team accelerated their high value sales by:  

• Drawing from his experience as a B1 bomber pilot and recognizing the huge market of repairing worn out aircraft parts with cold spray technology.  
• Identifying other industries where repairing worn out metal parts quickly is critical (such as on military aircraft and vessels, nuclear power plants, and oil & gas facilities).  
• Staying ahead of the competition by researching and developing new cold spray technology, processes and materials and applications.
