With diverse backgrounds in farming, machinery, engineering, and customer service, each team member brings unique expertise to support BEDNAR machinery and ATX Dyno solutions across the United States. Get to know the people behind the brand:
1. Chris Maciuk
Christopher is originally from Poland, where he was born and raised in a farming family. In 1992, he graduated from an agricultural technical school and later studied plant breeding at the University of Agriculture. After graduating in 1997, he began his professional career.
For the first three years, he worked as a farm manager on a large farm (1,200 hectares / 2,500 acres) in Poland. He then spent 23 years as a regional sales manager for leading European agricultural machinery manufacturers such as Vaderstad, Horsch, and Bednar.
Since mid-2023, Christopher has been part of our team, supporting the sales and service of BEDNAR machinery in the USA.
He says he doesn’t have much free time, but when he does, he dedicates it to his family and getting some well-deserved rest.
2. Hunter Gerke
Hunter began his career in the automotive and agricultural repair industry while still in high school, gaining valuable hands-on experience from a young age. After five years in repair and service, he transitioned into a sales role with Snap-On Tools, where he further developed his customer service and product support skills.
Following three successful years in tool sales, Hunter returned to his roots in agriculture, working on a cranberry marsh and reconnecting with the farming lifestyle. In 2024, he joined ATX Implements, bringing his diverse experience and strong work ethic to support BEDNAR machinery across Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
At ATX, Hunter focuses on building strong dealer relationships, providing technical support, and ensuring that customers receive the right solutions for their operations.
Outside of work, Hunter enjoys spending time outdoors and staying involved in the agricultural community.

From 2006 to 2022, Jakub managed his family owned dairy farm in the Czech Republic, where he oversaw daily operations, maintained a wide range of agricultural equipment, and established a small biogas plant focused on renewable energy production. In addition, he provided agricultural services such as soil cultivation and machinery rentals to neighboring farms.
Since 2023, he has been a part of ATX Implements, where he supports BEDNAR machinery sales and service in the USA. Jakub contributes his deep technical expertise, helping with product implementation, equipment setup, and customer support.
