I look forward to contributing to our company’s ongoing success and continued growth in an ever-changing manufacturing landscape.”
GF Machining Solutions (Lincolnshire, IL) has appointed Scott Fosdick as its new head of the Americas market region. Previously the company’s segment manager for aerospace and automotive in Asia, U.S.-born Fosdick takes over for former region president Glynn Fletcher.

Fosdick joined GF Machining Solutions, previously known as Agie Charmilles, in 1994. He successfully worked for technical service in Japan before taking over the position of service manager for Asia. In 2001, Fosdick became the president of Agie Charmilles South China and achieved outstanding results until he left the company in 2007.
In the following years, Fosdick further expanded his knowledge and experience in the aerospace market. He returned to GF Machining Solutions in May 2013 as the market segment manager for aerospace and automotive in Asia, prior to his most recent promotion to his new position. “After nearly 24 years in Asia, I’m excited to be back in the United States with GF Machining Solutions and heading a key division within the industry’s leading supplier of EDM, milling, laser texturing and automation technologies,” said Fosdick. “I look forward to contributing to the company’s ongoing success and continued growth in an ever-changing manufacturing landscape.”
