<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nA staple in the company, Berti joined Pine in 1973 shortly after earning his bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Grove City College. \u201cTimes were different back then; we all wore many different hats and shared responsibilities as the company was small, still fairly young but growing\u201d, states Berti. \u201cHeck, I helped construct the building we are standing in\u201d. <\/p>\n
Ed was instrumental in the development of many of Pine\u2019s products. The MSR Rotator, CBP Potentiostat, and the WV10 Rotator are key electrochemistry research instrumentation products that Ed designed that were used in research labs world-wide. His leadership, knowledge and talent resulted in the development of Eveready battery testers, Process Technology Temperature Controllers, and Joy Mining Equipment Designs \u2013 to name a few. Besides R&D, Berti was deeply involved with launching Pine\u2019s ISO 9000 Quality Program, RoHS Program, CE Certifications, and the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) program. <\/p>\n
A couple of Ed\u2019s peers gave tribute to him. Pine Research Instrumentation General Manager, Frank Dalton, attributes Ed Berti for recruiting him to Pine. Dalton was a professor at Grove City College that provided consulting services to the company. Bruce Denniston, retired Pine Vice President, noted how prevalent Berti\u2019s name was with Pine in the community. \u201cEveryone knew Ed Berti; and that he worked for Pine\u201d, states Denniston. He was also a mentor to Pine\u2019s other engineers.<\/p>\n
Ed\u2019s commitments were equally as rich outside of Pine. His passion for basketball led him to help coach high school for years. You could find him most summer evenings at Grove City Park shooting hoops with a bunch of guys. He served on George Junior Republic\u2019s Board of Directors and was instrumental in the fundraising campaign that built the new Grove City YMCA. <\/p>\n
For more than four decades, Ed has helped Pine become a respected leader in the asphalt testing, electrochemistry research, and electronic board assembly industries. His leadership, vision, and infectious smile will certainly be missed by his Pine colleagues. <\/p>\n <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For more than four decades, Ed has helped Pine become a respected leader in the asphalt testing, electrochemistry research, and electronic board assembly industries. <\/p>\n
