Peter Maginnis, Makinex Construction Products

Peter Maginnis is focused on making inefficiencies extinct. That makes him a pretty good fit for Makinex, since that’s the company’s goal as well. 

On this episode of The Front PORch, we talked with Peter about his history, his wine career, his travels overseas to see how the rest of the world was doing hire/rental, and how the relationships he’s built have helped direct his journey to where he is today. We learned that he and his wife are occasionally THAT family cheering a bit too loudly from the sidelines while their kids play sports and about his favorite wet burrito. 

What we didn’t get to was Makinex’s impressive virtual showroom, which you’ll have to ask for personally, since this is an audio-only endeavor.
