Mark started his career with a 16-year stint at a major powder metal parts manufacturer in various production positions,Metallurgical Technician, and Product Engineer. He advanced his career by moving onto a mid-sized PM plant as Engineering/Production Manager prior to being promoted to President/GM. In this role he had complete P&L responsibility including budgeting, forecasting and capital/personnel planning. He spent 8 years gaining leadership and management skills, an experience Mark values today. Mark made his last advancement prior to joining Gasbarre by returning to the previous major PM parts manufacturer as Operations & Plant Manager overseeing all aspects of the multi-national 24/7 operation. All of these roles are key to ensuring that Mark fully understands what the customer is looking for when they purchase a furnace from Gasbarre.
