Thank You Thomas

Over the last 24 years, I have been honored to work with so many talented people as we helped US and Canadian manufacturers grow their businesses with the powerhouse products and services at Thomas . With the transition of the business to Xometry completed, I am moving on to my next adventure in the industrial space. I wish Randy Altschuler , Laurence Zuriff and the entire Xometry team all the success with the business. Marketing is in great hands with Aaron Lichtig and Daniel Richards , and the business retains fantastic leadership and institutional knowledge from Tom Greco , Susan Kaminsky , Joe Nieckarz , Mike Grugnale , Nick Graham , Max Di Pettusanto , Reggie Rios , and Doug Lee .
