LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world leader in portable
computer-aided measurement hardware and software, announced it has
appointed Stephen C. Garwood as its Senior Vice President and
Managing Director Asia Pacific. Garwood replaces Robert Large who
is retiring at the end of February. Most recently, Garwood served
as EVP of Operations for two global divisions of Danaher
Corporation. In his role, he was responsible for developing an
operating team to drive continuous improvement and intensifying
customer focus, as the need to change and strengthen the businesses
was imperative. Through his leadership, the divisions achieved
their targets for on-time delivery, minimal product defects and
revenue growth. Garwood graduated from the Illinois Institute of
Technology with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, and
from Illinois State University with an M.B.A. Early in his career,
he held numerous engineering roles with Whiting Corporation and
later with Interlake Companies. At Interlake, he also held
positions in manufacturing and materials, ultimately rising to
Manufacturing Manager. Garwood was recruited to NACCO as a Focused
Factory Manager and later to Danaher Corporation where he held
progressively more responsible global positions to include his most
recent assignment. He also served two years in the United States
Air Force. "Steve has a proven track record of success with global
organizations including substantial responsibility for Asian
operations," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "He brings a
wealth of knowledge and experience to FARO and will play an
integral role in our continuous improvement processes. His
expertise in strategic management and lean manufacturing for
multinational Fortune 500 corporations will be an invaluable asset.
As we transition our leadership in Asia, I'd also like to thank Bob
Large for his passion, his endless energy and his contributions to
the Company -- all of which are significant components of what
makes FARO such a dynamic and successful enterprise." About FARO
