Edward Batko, the driving force behind Logicraft Corporation, has cultivated a company renowned for its adeptness in precision machining, injection-molded plastics, die casting, sheet metal, and bearings. Operating from Buffalo Grove, Illinois, his approach to supply chain management and implementing a "Zero Defect Policy" have markedly elevated customer satisfaction.
Upon his arrival in the United States in 1981, Batko quickly adapted and excelled academically, completing high school in just two years. He furthered his education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in two and a half years, followed by an MBA from Loyola University specializing in International Finance and MIS in 1992.
Starting his career at BDLS, a CPA firm, Batko excelled as a consultant, managing sales quotas and implementing extensive computerized accounting systems. His role quickly evolved, and by 1991, he was working in five retail locations with a commendable $15 million in sales. From 1992 to 1999, his career trajectory significantly turned towards international project management at Advanced Systems & Networks. He spearheaded customer acquisition efforts for CRM and ERP systems there, managing a team 18 and crafting pivotal partnerships with industry giants.
In 1999, he became a Business Development Manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, overseeing over $40 million in projects. His strategic vision reached new heights at IBM in 2002, where, as Director of Business Development and International Strategic Alliances, he managed projects worth over $130 million, driving revenue and establishing vital international links.
His tenure at Aggregate Alliance and subsequent strategic role at British Telecom in 2008 further underscored his capacity to enhance global business operations. That same year, Batko founded Logicraft Corporation, quickly establishing it as a leader in manufacturing highly precise and complex components.
Under his leadership, Logicraft has thrived, expanding its client base across Europe and Asia and overcoming intricate supply chain challenges to prevent production downtimes. A notable achievement under his guidance was the institution of the "Zero Defect Policy," which pushed the company's quality standards to unprecedented heights, resulting in a rejection rate of merely 0.001%.
Beyond his professional realm, Edward Batko is a devoted family man. He has been married since 1987 and is a father to three children. He values time with his family and is committed to continuous personal and professional development, which is evident in his ongoing participation in advanced training programs in project management and business strategy.
