CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ABOUT SKUTT Based in Portland, Oregon, Skutt is the leading manufacturer of kilns and pottery wheels in North America. With the help of over 85 employees, Skutt is committed to building the highest quality products serving schools, hobby and production potters. Skutt ensures the highest level of product quality by investing in its people, equipment and lean manufacturing processes. Skutt firmly believes that happy employees translate into happy customers. Many of Skutt’s team members have been with the company for over 10 years. The equipment used to make heating elements, transform bricks, and build controllers leads the industry in innovation and performance. Skutt knows that great equipment translates into fewer problems and happy customers.
