Acieta announces retirement of company founder

After nearly 40 years of promoting the growth of robotics in manufacturing, John Burg, founder of Acieta, will be retiring from his sales role. He will continue to mentor the company’s sales team and offer consultation on special projects as Acieta’s founder emeritus.

“He’s taught so many manufacturers to apply robotic technology to increase productivity and reduce costs, which has given those companies competitive advantages,” said Acieta chairman/CEO Robby Komljenovic. “Long before the industry was talking about robots, John was a believer in the transformative power of automation. He was well ahead of his time.”

The company will transition Burg’s responsibilities to Greg Morehouse, who has served in senior leadership roles at Acieta for more than seven years, most recently as executive vice president.
