Meet Ben Schnurbusch, Operations Director at Hyper Solutions

At Hyper Solutions, keeping things moving is what we do best – and Benjamin Schnurbusch, our Operations Director, is at the center of it all. Recently celebrating his one-year anniversary, Benjamin reflects on his role leading Operations, Supply Chain, and Quality, as well as the relationships he’s built with Hyper’s network of manufacturing partners.

A Fresh Start in Manufacturing

Ben’s career spans 17 years of experience in manufacturing, operations, and electrical distribution equipment. When Hyper came into the picture, it couldn’t have been at a better time.

“I was at a crossroads in my career, and the opportunity with Hyper was a fresh start,” Ben explains. “I’ve always had a passion for manufacturing – it’s the backbone of our daily lives. There’s always room to innovate, improve, and work with great people, and Hyper’s business model allows me to do that at a whole new level.”

What Makes Hyper Different

For Ben, the people are the standout feature at Hyper. “Whether I’m on calls, at the Hyper Hub, or traveling to meet with partners and vendors, I’m constantly inspired by the team. Their commitment to our customers is unmatched.”

He thrives on solving challenges in operations and appreciates how Hyper approaches its work: “We don’t settle for ‘that’s how it’s always been done.’ Hyper is constantly pushing boundaries, and the speed and transparency we operate with really set us apart.”

Family, Golf, and Finding Balance

Outside of work, Ben’s life revolves around his family. His free time is often spent at his kids’ sporting events and activities. “With their schedules, there’s rarely a dull moment, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he says.

When he’s not with family, you might find Ben on the golf course. “Golf is special to me. It’s humbling, challenging, and a great way to build relationships. Plus, you can play it your entire life.”

And when it comes to unwinding after a long day? “A few minutes of peace and quiet go a long way when you’re decompressing from the daily grind,” he says.

The Skill to Master (and a Simple Steak Dinner)

When asked what skill he’d like to master, Ben doesn’t hesitate: “Being a great communicator. Listening, understanding, and tailoring your message to those around you is something I work on daily, and it makes all the difference in work and life.” And if he had to stick with one meal forever?  “Steak and potatoes. I like to keep it simple.”

Living Hyper’s Values

Ben is quick to credit Hyper’s culture and team for supporting his growth. “I work alongside an incredible team of all-stars who bring experience, passion, and open minds to everything they do,” he shares.

He also appreciates seeing Hyper’s values in action every day. “‘Do the right things, always’ isn’t just a tagline – it’s part of how we operate. It gives us the confidence to make the right decisions for our customers and build trust at every step.”

His advice for new employees? “Jump in headfirst. Learn the challenges each team is tackling, connect with your teammates, and most importantly, understand what matters to your customers. That’s how you’ll make an impact here.”

Ben’s leadership, dedication, and ability to tackle challenges head-on have made a huge impact on Hyper Solutions. As we celebrate his first year, we’re excited to see what’s ahead – and we’re grateful to have him on the team.
