With over 30 years in the industrial machine business, Ledvon has done it in all-from shaping marketing strategies across key sectors like automation and machine tool driving impressive growth in aerospace and 5-axis machining applications.

He knows a thing or two about precision! His work with HEIDENHAIN’s TNC controls has helped them become a go-to for high-end CNC solutions in North America.
