Ceradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDN) announced that Joel P. Moskowitz, the
company's President and CEO, has received from the American Ceramic
Society (ACerS) a Distinguished Life Membership Award in
recognition of his service to the society and his role in promoting
structural ceramics in both academic and commercial settings. The
award, one of only three such awards given this year, was presented
yesterday in Pittsburgh on the occasion of ACerS's 114th annual
meeting.
For several years Moskowitz served on ACerS's President's
Council of Industrial Advisors and more recently helped create the
society's Ceramic Leadership Summit meeting series. He also played
a role in supporting the International Federation on Ceramics and
the International Commission on Glass. He is a member of several
professional organizations, including the American Ceramic Society
and the National Institute of Ceramic Engineers.
Moskowitz, who with a $5,000 investment co-founded Ceradyne in
1967, now heads a company with multiple research and manufacturing
facilities in the United States, Canada, Germany and China. With
annual sales of more than $500 million, Ceradyne is recognized as a
vertically integrated leader in the development of advanced
technical ceramics for consumer, industrial and commercial
applications.
Since 1983 Moskowitz has sat on the board of trustees of Alfred
University, from which he graduated with a B.S. in ceramic
engineering in 1961. L. David Pye, a former ACerS president and
Dean Emeritus of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred
University, who has known Moskowitz since he was an undergraduate,
characterized him as "one of the most successful ceramic engineers
in modern times."
