WESTLAKE, Ohio Sundaram Nagarajan took over as president and CEO of Westlake-based Nordson Corp. in August 2019.

Less than two years later, Nagarajan has implemented a new business strategy aimed at growth and at empowering employees. And the company is embracing a shift from a focus on fluid-dispensing equipment to precision technology at large.
