MKS Instruments Revamps Management

Electronic News, Dec 3, 2001

COMPONENT AND SUBSYSTEMS SUPPLIER MKS Instruments Inc. recently made organizational changes, moving to what it called a flatter management structure to increase flexibility and responsiveness to customer needs. The major product groups and corporate functions now all report directly to John Bertucci, MKS chairman and CEO.

Bertucci also will assume the position of president when Peter Younger, MKS' current president and COO, leaves to pursue other opportunities. John Smith, currently managing director of MKS' subsidiary in the United Kingdom, will assume the position of VP and GM of MKS' combined Materials Delivery and Advanced Process Control product groups. Bill Bintz, GM of Materials Delivery Products; Mike Dent, GM of Spectra Products; and Peter Solomon, GM of On-Line Products will report to Smith.
