Gleason began working at the company in 1959 and held various positions before ultimately becoming CEO in 1981 until 2002. During that time, he broadened the company’s product line and returned the company to private ownership from being a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.

Take a closer look at the most common – and not so common – sources of data that feed the decision processes in a digital manufacturing system.
