Zetec Announces Leadership Transition for Steam Generator Business
Snoqualmie, Washinton (PRWEB) July 27, 2016 -- Zetec Inc., a global leader in nondestructive testing (NDT) solutions, today announces in preparation for the pending retirement of Robert (Bob) Vollmer, that Mr. Kihang (Ki) Choi will assume responsibilities as Vice President for the Steam Generator business unit. Over the next several months, the two leaders will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition. Mr. Vollmer, a 26 year veteran at Zetec, will continue to consult with the company, focusing on strategic projects and key customer accounts.

“On behalf of everyone at Zetec, we are grateful for Bob’s numerous contributions, outstanding leadership and accomplishments over his career,” states Wayne Wilkinson, President of Zetec.

We are fortunate to have someone of Ki’s caliber and are confident he is the right leader to help drive the Steam Generator business unit forward into its next phase of success."
