Our training room hosts classes taught by factory representatives, and our field reps are available to visit your facility. They are not there to simply sell you a product but to assess your actual needs, provide options, and even help organize your stockroom and set up long-term managed inventory services if you are interested.

Meet Briar Carrion Van Rijn

Inside Technical Specialist

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills in northern California.

What is your favorite thing to do for fun?

I enjoy a great variety of fun activities, but I am particularly fond of reading.

I enjoy watching The Color of Magic, not because it is a very good film, but because it is a relatively faithful rendition of its literary counterpart. 

If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

If I were presented with the option to move anywhere in the world, I would very likely end up not moving anywhere new as a result of decision fatigue. The world is vast and exciting, and I could not possibly choose a single location that would win out over any others. 

From your perspective, what’s the best thing about The Part Works?

From my perspective, the best thing about The Part Works is being surrounded by people who care about doing their jobs well.
