Brooks Instrument promotes Eric Pipal to VP & general manager

Brooks Instrument of Hatfield, PA, USA (a provider of flow, pressure, vacuum and vapor delivery solutions) says that Eric Pipal has been promoted to VP & general manager.

With a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Penn State University along with an MBA in finance from Saint Joseph’s University, Pipal originally joined Brooks Instrument as an operations director in 2007. Since then, he’s held positions of increasing responsibility within the operations department prior to taking a customer-facing role as manager of the industrial business unit in 2015.

“Eric has a strong leadership record, and we are confident he will lead the Brooks Instrument team to continued positive results in the future,” comments Sharon Szafranski, group president at ITW (which owns Brooks Instrument as part of its test & measurement business unit).

“I’m especially excited about several key products we’re launching this year for biotech and semiconductor manufacturing, including new mass flow controllers equipped with EtherNet/IP and other features for bioprocessing, as well as new pressure-based mass flow controllers for semiconductor processing,” says Pipal. “Besides our ongoing support for the industrial markets, the biotech and semiconductor segments are important product development areas for Brooks Instrument.”
