I’m Pat O’Neill, Regional Sales Executive at Mac-Tech, and my journey starts in southern Chicago. Growing up amid hardworking communities taught me the power of dedication—especially on and off the rugby field, where I learned to persevere through challenges as a team. When I moved to Milwaukee, I brought those values with me, always striving to keep customers’ equipment running smoothly while building lasting connections. It’s my belief that personal commitment and hands-on service create the best environment for success.
My background in competitive team sports laid a solid foundation for handling the demanding production schedules and tough deadlines our customers face daily. In rugby, I had to rely on my teammates and respond quickly to changing situations, which is a lot like staying ahead of machine maintenance issues in the metal roofing industry. Every day, I draw on that experience to anticipate potential equipment failures and implement proactive solutions that save my customers time and money.
Now, as part of the Mac-Tech family, I get to deliver on what matters most: providing top-tier machinery, advanced servicing strategies, and a trusted face behind the brand. Our team at Mac-Tech prides itself on customer relationships built on honesty, reliability, and results. Whether you’re working with metal roofing machines, press brakes, or other fabrication equipment, I’m here to ensure you experience minimal downtime and maximum returns.
My Preventive Approach for Minimizing Roofing Downtime
I firmly believe that a consistent maintenance schedule is the single best way to avoid costly breakdowns. My role involves discussing detailed service plans with customers, aligned with their specific production needs. By proactively inspecting critical components—whether in metal roofing machines or other advanced manufacturing solutions—I can help spot potential issues before they become serious problems.
Mac-Tech’s service philosophy revolves around scheduled check-ups and follow-through. From changing out worn parts to calibrating performance settings, our technicians leave no stone unturned. Over time, these small, timely interventions make a world of difference in keeping a shop floor productive and profitable.
Keeping these machines running without interruption is not just my job—it’s my passion. Each time I stop by a facility, I have one question in mind: “How can we do better for you?” That approach helps us continuously refine our techniques and tailor solutions that truly match each customer’s environment, workload, and expectations.

FAQ
How do I measure ROI on preventive maintenance?
I recommend tracking reduced downtime, lower part replacement costs, and improved machine efficiency. By combining these metrics, you get a clear idea of the returns you’re getting from regular, proactive care.
Do you offer training for my staff on maintenance procedures?
Yes. At Mac-Tech, we encourage hands-on training sessions to help your team understand the machinery inside and out. This approach boosts confidence, safety, and long-term performance.
What types of roofing machines do you service?
We work with a wide range—everything from forming machines to roll-formers. My experience across multiple brands means I can craft a preventive maintenance plan that fits your specific setup.
How do I know when it’s time to replace parts rather than repair them?
Signs like increased vibration, inconsistent product quality, or excessive noise often point to component wear. I use that data, along with manufacturer guidelines and our Mac-Tech expertise, to decide when replacement is the most cost-effective approach.
Why should I trust Mac-Tech over other service providers?
We’re rooted in personal relationships, decades of combined industry experience, and a commitment to leading-edge equipment. As part of the Mac-Tech team, I work hard to ensure you get the most from your machines while feeling truly supported.
