The vice president of business and market development leaves a tale to be told of a 34-year career in the specialty metal products business.
After a 34-year career, the vice president of business and market development at AMETEK Specialty Metal Products (SMP) (Eighty Four, PA) is stepping down. Richard (Dick) Mason has retired following a long career, most recently as vice president of business and market development.
He originally joined Specialty Metal Products, then a part of Pfizer, in 1980 as its Milwaukee regional sales manager. That business was acquired by AMETEK from Pfizer in 1988. Mason was promoted to division vice president of sales and marketing in 2001 and, under his leadership, sales and marketing expanded into 34 countries.
In 2010, he assumed additional responsibilities for market and business development. He focused on developing opportunities in key global regions, especially the BRIC countries. More recently, he provided his experience and oversight to AMETEK clad metal and cookware product lines.
