History

Creative Engineering Consultants was founded by Bruce Winn in 1978.   Bruce was able to successfully capitalize on his thirty years of work as an engineer at Reynolds Metals by offering his expertise in minerals grinding to others as a consulting engineer.  

In 1988 Bruce Winn began marketing and distributing Humboldt Wedag mills and established MicroGrinding Systems, Inc. His experience with these and other machines of the time led to the development of the family of VibroKinetic Energy Grinding Mills that are now manufactured and marketed by MicroGrinding Systems, Inc.

Bruce Winn retired in 2005 and the company is now directed by President and CEO, Mike Winn, and company Vice President, Jeremy Canada. Mike is himself a mechanical engineer and spent his early career in racing tire research and development for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company as well as the development of the VibroKinetic Energy Grinding Mills Mills.

Today, the need for grinding systems capable of producing ever smaller particles, (often requiring sizes of less than 1 micron), has led the staff of Creative Engineering Consultants and MicroGrinding Systems, Inc. to develop and refine our grinding systems to produce material in the nanoparticle range.
