Unleashing Potential, Enhancing Performance
Factory42 LLC is born out of a simple habit of “upgrading” everyday items. Founded in July of 2024, the company was the brainchild of Michelle Troy and Christopher McGuire. The duo had a knack for enhancing the functionality of items and devices they used in their daily lives, a service they also extended to friends and neighbors. When one satisfied customer suggested they take their innovative products to stores, the seed was planted for what would eventually grow into Factory42. Now they are part of a growing team, improving everyday products and forming mutually advantageous licensing agreements, as well as life-long bonds, nationwide!
Revolutionizing the Everyday
Where Today’s Ideas Shape Tomorrow’s Technologies.
Christopher McGuire, one of the co-founders, brings 15 years of experience in the Automation Industry to the table. His roles have been diverse, ranging from Computer-Aided Drafting, Programmable Logic Controller and Robotic Engineering, to research and development of new products and processes, and troubleshooting problems with currently running lines. His current role in technical phone support for robotics and robotic vision has honed his skills in professional and courteous communication during phone and video calls. His extensive experience in automation gives him a realistic perspective on what is possible in the Automation Industry, making him the research and technical expertise of Factory42.
Michelle Troy, the other co-founder, has been a popular streamer on Twitch and Youtube for 5 years. Her ability to communicate with multiple people concurrently, while ensuring no one feels left out, has helped her amass a large following. Her awareness of her ‘stage presence’ and her ability to keep a lively conversation going nearly indefinitely makes her a social butterfly. She is adept at building both a social and an online presence, and engaging with interested members/parties. Her extensive network of professional contacts from various industries, thanks to her streaming career, is a valuable resource for Factory42. She is the social and creative expertise of the co-founders of Factory42.
Together, Christopher and Michelle combine their unique skills and experiences to drive Factory42 forward, innovating and upgrading products to meet the evolving needs of the market.
