Tim Bushaw was named CEO of LiteSentry, Softsolution and Strainoptics. He is tasked with leading operations in the United States and Europe.

Company officials say Bushaw brings 25 years of experience leading teams in industrial automation. Throughout his career, he has worked with manufacturers to better understand how they use inspection and process-control systems on production floors and use those insights to improve products and services.

“Tim’s experience in automation and his focus on customer partnership align with our mission,” says company president Gary DiDio. “He understands what fabricators need: systems that deliver value, support they can count on and partners who know their business.”

Officials say that Bushaw will focus on three areas in his new role: customer partnerships, product and technical leadership, operations and service. LiteSentry, Softsolution and Strainoptics develop inspection systems for the glass industry, including distortion measurement, surface and anisotropy inspection and stress analysis.
