New Additions to the Esstech Team
From its simple origins in the early 1990s as a line of highly customized raw materials for compounders of gnew generationh restorative dental composites to now a major manufacturer of customized UV/EB curable materials serving an ever-wider range of industries, Esstech, Inc. has indeed been a very successful gexperimenth. It is my pleasure to announce two additions to the Esstech Team of talented professionals.
Last year, Bruce Farina, a 21-year veteran of Sartomer Company, joined Esstech as Senior Vice President and we are now pleased to announce that, effective as of January 1, 2012, Bruce has been given full operational responsibility for Esstech as President/COO. Brucefs two decades of experience at Sartomer ranged from Manufacturing Manager through various titles and functions to Vice President with, most recently, overall global responsibility for all of Sartomerfs photocure (UV/EB) business.
Bruce is taking over for Howard Slaff who, after a very successful leadership tenure at Esstech, is moving ten miles south down I-95 to assume the President/COO responsibilities being vacated by the retiring Mike Norquist at Esstechfs sister company, Esschem, Inc..
I am also very pleased to announce that Bruce has successfully recruited Dr. Mike Idacavage as Esstechfs new Director of Business Development. Mike Idacavage may be known to some of you as the immediate past-President of RadTech North America and is a lifetime member of RadTechfs Board of Directors. Mikefs gday jobh for the last 15 years was with Cytec Industries (and, pre-merger, UCB Chemicals), most recently as Cytecfs Principal Research Fellow.
Those of us involved with Esstech over the years could not be more excited with the Team now in place and with their commitment to its next phase of customer-centric growth!
