Mattec founder steps down

The founder and president of process monitoring system and ERP software provider Mattec Corp. (Loveland, OH) has retired as of the end of 2008.

Mick Thiel started the company in 1983, supplying real-time production and process monitoring systems to the plastics industry. In 2006, Mattec merged with ERP systems supplier Solarsoft.

“I’m pleased to be leaving the company on such a high note,” Thiel said in a press release. “[The last three years] have been record years for us. While many of our competitors have experienced a downturn during that time, we’ve been able to thrive.”

Andy Amalfitano will be the general manager of Mattec and will continue to serve as GM for Solarsoft’s Mvp ERP system.—[email protected]
