Polidor, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Having Panos join as OGP President, Global Sales, ensures that we will continue to grow and innovate optical and multisensor solutions to meet the world's precision measurement needs, and to be our customers’ first choice to solve their challenging dimensional metrology requirements. Under Panos’ leadership, OGP will remain steadfast in delivering leading innovation and unparalleled service, driven by the dedication of our employees and the support of our partners.”
