Seth Weisberg grew up in the material handling business. After graduating from Northeastern University, he went to work for his father’s material handling company, and then on to PricewaterhouseCoopers as a Project Manager. After working at PwC for six years, Seth returned to help his father and help grow the family business by leveraging his former experiences.

lt didn’t take long before Seth’s impact was felt. After only 12 months, the company had doubled in size. After another five years, Michael Weisberg retired and Seth took over the responsibility of running the firm. Four years later, the company’s size has since doubled a few times over! This expansion can be attributed to Seth’s vision of morphing the simple storage solution supplier into a full, turn-key system provider.

Growing up with Seth Weisberg, Andrew Noble spent many summers and weekends working for ABCO Systems when it was run by Seth’s father, Michael Weisberg. It was during this time that he began to learn first hand about the firm’s operations and their customers unique needs.

While attending Wilkes University, he continued to work for the company whenever he could, and became a valuable part time member of the labor staff, and eventually began running projects on his own. After graduating from Wilkes University, Andrew spent eight years as a PGA Golf Professional at Blue Hill Golf Club in Pearl River, New York. With his winters off, he often returned to ABCO to work prior to trips to Florida for golf. In 2003, he left the golf industry and began working full time for ABCO Systems. The timing proved to be right, as ABCO Systems was on the verge of growing and Andrew stepped into a leadership role managing projects and staff.
His leadership and management success led to his appointment as the COO.

Thomas Hoff began his career in the material handling industry after working as a warehouse / production manager for a DJ Equipment Company. Thomas helped his company expand from a 30,000 square foot facility to a 120,000 square foot facility. He handled the complete layout and design process for the entire facility, and in doing so increased employee efficiency by over 50%. Upon completion of this project, Thomas was hired by a used pallet rack company named Always Equipment Inc., where he spent fourteen years learning the industry. Not only did he gain valuable knowledge regarding current pallet rack systems, he also learned about past systems, which enabled him to identify and evaluate outdated operations in warehouses.

After his fourteen years of service as Sales Manger with Always Equipment Inc., he joined ABCO Systems in July of 2012 bringing his wealth of knowledge to an already diverse team. Thomas’ degree in IT, which specialized in network design and security, has been put to good by assisting with the layout and design of warehouse distribution centers by creating CAD drawings for system plans for clients.

It wasn’t long before Matt headed up major projects and worked with e-commerce giant Amazon.com to upgrade their main east coast facility. The success of that project landed his company the opportunity to design and build facilities that would allow Amazon.com to begin their same day delivery program. His exposure to companies large and small over 15 years would help propel his understanding of the challenges facing a wide range of customers.

One of those customers, Nuts.com, saw that Matt’s facility design background and ability to get buy in from cross functional teams would be an asset to their growing company. Matt was hired into the role of VP of Operations and was at the helm of the company as it grew from a small family business to a 60+ million-dollar on-line juggernaut. ABCO Systems is excited to bring Matt’s engineering and hands-on operational experience to help our current and future customers address the many challenges within their supply chain.
