Warren P Hendrix, president and 1962 co-founder of Micromeritics, passed away on 27 May 2005 at the age of 73.
Micromeritics was one of the first companies to manufacture and market analytical instruments for surface area, porosity, mercury penetration, and sedimentation particle size analyses.
Since its founding, the company has expanded into gas pycnometry, static and dynamic physical and chemical adsorption instrumentation, and various methods of particle size determinations.
With numerous patents in these areas of particle science and particle technology, the company is now recognised worldwide for its pioneering innovations.
Succeeding WP Hendrix as president is Preston Hendrix, assisted by recently named executive vice president, Jeanne Thomas.
"The management team remains strong and the direction of the company has not changed," states Clyde Orr, co-founder and chairman of the board of directors.
"We remain committed to providing our customers with the same superior products and supporting services that have distinguished Micromeritics in the field of particle science and technology."
