Raul Pretto, owner and operator of EFR Corporation, has turned wrenches for every kind of mechanical warehouse device in existence.  Native to Argentina, he learned much of his trade here in the United States.  He began his material handling journey working for Dierecx as a forklift technician.  However, his supervisors observed his perseverance and saw excellent leadership skills.  After much deliberation, they promoted him to field manager.  Raul's responsibilities included dispatching service technicians to jobsites while helping them troubleshoot hard-to-diagnose issues.  He did so well, that he was quickly promoted to operations manager.  His superiors entrusted him with opening new buildings and establishing operations in several cities across the United States.  

During his tenure at Dierecx, Raul learned the inner workings of the industry and started thinking that perhaps he could run his own operation.  After careful consideration, he found the courage to open his new venture, Electric Forklift Repair Corp., repairing machines onsite and out of his garage.
