The Great Transition

摘要

After four decades in the glass industry, outgoing Vitro Architectural Glass president Richard "Dick" Beuke has seen it all, from rapid technological advances to a major economic recession and, finally, Vitro's purchase of PPG's flat glass division in 2016. Beuke helped lead the division through the acquisition and, now that the transition process is well underway, he plans to retire. On January 1,2019, Beuke stepped down from his position as president and passed the torch on to Ricardo Maiz. Beuke will aid Maiz in the transition until his retirement in March, when he will be retained by the company as a senior adviser.
