Paul LeTang to Retire from Bystronic
Nicknamed “Dr. Bender,” the press brake product manager begins his next chapter starting March 2.
Posted: January 25, 2020
After seven years working at Bystronic and a career in sheet metal fabrication spanning over five decades, Paul LeTang, press brake product manager and bending guru for Bystronic Inc. (Elgin, IL) is set to retire on March 2, 2020.
Paul started working part time with press brakes after school and on weekends back in 1969 and that evolved into full-time work while also attending night school at the University of Cincinnati back in 1972. Paul has held many high level technical and managerial positions throughout his career and has worked for various machine manufacturers across the U.S. An interesting milestone fact about Paul: He has attended every US FABTECH show since 1976!
Paul LeTang (a.k.a. Dr. Bender) has been a highly respected resource for bending in the sheet metal fabrication industry for years. Paul has been a frequent contributor to magazine editorials and his expertise in bending was often sought after by editors, his peers and colleagues alike. Paul’s knowledge and experience will surely be missed at Bystronic, as well as in the sheet metal industry as a whole.
When asked about his retirement, Paul’s plans and interests include boating, fishing, gardening, restoring vintage motorcycles, working on Lionel train sets, traveling around the U.S. by motorhome and just relaxing and spending time with family and friends.
Thank you, Paul, for your many years of dedication to the industry, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement!
