These battle-tested men and women represent some of the world’s best-trained leaders, armed with the power to inspire, execute and deliver results in today’s business world.” An 11-year veteran of the U.S. Army, Hric commanded troops during Operations Desert Shield/Storm and in Europe, Korea and the U.S. In 1996, he commanded one of the Army’s highly sophisticated M1A2 Abrams Tank Companies. Hric also has an extensive record in the engineering services industry and will bring his diverse knowledge and experience to BWIR customers nationwide. In 1998, Hric joined the foodservice division of International Paper and attended Clemson University, where he received his Black Belt Certification in Six Sigma Lean manufacturing.

In 2004, Hric joined BOC Gases as an account manager in the Midwest Region. During his time with BOC, which was later purchased by Linde Gas, Hric engineered cryogenic solutions for companies in the manufacturing, food, metals and chemicals marketplace. His focus on customer relationships doubled the revenue growth in his sales territory within five years. “Chris will bring practical and cost-effective engineering solutions to a broad range of customers in the industrial machinery arena, as he has in the past,” Webb added. “We look forward to his contribution.” About Barry-Wehmiller International Resources Barry-Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR) is a global provider of business and technology solutions to the mid-market manufacturing domain.
