Fokko Pentinga, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amtech, commented, “Brad has played a significant role in Amtech's transformation over the years.  I want to thank Brad for his leadership as he helped advance a series of key priorities, including executing on a number of acquisitions.  Mr. Hass has served the company in various financial capacities for over 23 years, including chief financial officer from 1992 to 2006.  He has a wealth of financial expertise and deep knowledge of Amtech's businesses. With Robert's experience, a strong financial team, and Brad continuing in an advisory capacity, I am confident we will make a seamless transition into the future.”

Anderson has served as CFO since joining the company in April, 2006 and has overseen numerous mergers and acquisitions since joining. Amtech noted that Anderson would remain in an advisory position through the end of 2016.

Brad Anderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “I am very appreciative of the many opportunities for professional and personal development that Amtech has provided me during the last nine plus years.  I now look forward to working closely with the company's management in an advisory role as the global organization stays focused on its well-defined near and long-term objectives to enhance value.”
