CHELMSFORD, Mass. -- Triton Systems, Inc. (Triton), a leader in advanced materials solutions for the U. S. Military and Homeland Security, announced today that it has named Mr. Bill Altergott Executive Vice President to oversee its newly restructured U.S. Government business. Mr. Altergott was previously in charge of Triton's Military Logistics and Structural Materials Divisions. His new responsibilities will now expand to Triton's entire Government business which includes Advanced Materials and Process technologies.

While managing Triton's Military Logistics and Structural Materials Divisions, Mr. Altergott transitioned early-stage technologies from primarily R&D platforms to advanced systems engineering and manufacturing. Specifically, he established a prototype manufacturing facility for military logistics components at Triton's headquarters in Chelmsford, MA and a manufacturing facility expansion in Birmingham, Alabama.

"Bill is inheriting an outstanding team of professionals and a number of exceptional capabilities with real relevance to the defense markets that we plan to serve. We are excited to support Bill in growing our Government business."
