Kyle Seitel

PMMI has, once again, recognized 10 individuals who are quickly advancing in the industry in its sixth annual PMMI ON THE RISE AWARDS 2023 developed by the Emerging Leaders Committee. The winners were honored in October 2023 at PMMI’s Annual Meeting in Stone Mountain, Georgia. But there’s a lot to learn about these forward-thinking problem-solvers. So, OEM took some time to get to know these outstanding rising stars. Here are their stories.


Kyle Seitel embarked on a journey with Norwalt at the age of 14 doing the basic tasks of floor sweeping, screw sorting, and cleaning and painting machine frames. He transitioned through various departments, acquiring skills in machine assembly, design engineering, and eventually, vision programming. Post-graduation, Seitel was entrusted with the responsibility of elevating Norwalt's vision programming domain—a major milestone.

This past year marks a decade with the company that specializes in crafting bespoke assembly machinery catering to the pharmaceutical and consumer product sectors. And Seitel is now the company’s vision engineering manager and coordinator. 

His role is akin to helming a business within a business, Seitel said, noting that he manages client relations through every stage—from quoting to service arrangements—ensuring their needs are met. He also oversees the daily operations of the vision department, striving to enhance efficiency and quality of in-house vision projects. In parallel, he coordinates marketing initiatives, ranging from social media engagement to website optimization, contributing to Norwalt's digital presence and client outreach.
