There are three generations of Sartins working here at Hytrol. Mother/Son/Grandson . Hytrol has been part of my life at a very young age. I started here at the age of 19 and it has helped me grow as a person in so many ways. As I look back through the years, there has been key friendships and leaders that helped me through some tough life situations. I hope and pray that I am paying it forward through my journey here at Hytrol.
