Michael Claudio is the co-founder and CEO of EHD Technologies, a Brentwood based technical staffing and quality control service company. Founded in 2002, EHD Technologies now has five office locations, employs over 150 team members in 13 states and supports clients in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Michael earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, TN. He joined the workforce as a production supervisor for Duracell Battery in 1989. He then began his automotive career with Nissan in Smyrna, TN as a supplier quality engineer. He spent five years with Nissan, traveling extensively throughout North America and Japan working with suppliers to improve quality, efficiency and performance.
His career path then led south to the startup of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama. He spent the initial years with Mercedes in an advanced engineering function, and then transitioned to Supplier Quality Management. He was responsible for both the Electric and Interior Supplier Quality Engineering teams and Receiving Inspection for the plant.
In multiple site visits to plants in Japan, Europe, and North America, Claudio saw the need for skilled quality engineering support and launched EHD Technologies, LLC in 2002. EHD Tech began as a boutique engineering service company, providing managed service support for new program launches and supplier quality initiatives. In 2009, EHD Tech expanded its service offerings in automotive to include 3rd party quality inspection services. In 2011, EHD Tech formalized its focus on staffing in the automotive space, and expanded to include Information Technology (IT) and Contract Engineering (CE) in non-automotive divisions in 2012.
EHD Tech has been listed in the top 10 of the Staffing Industry Analysts' list of fastest growing staffing companies in the United States for the past three consecutive years.
Claudio has been married to Debbie for 25 years and has two daughters and one son. He is actively engaged at Forest Hills Baptist Church, mentors students at Lipscomb University and volunteers time with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes of Middle TN.
