Nordson aims to continue growth with three-pronged approach

Millions of components are manufactured each day at Nordson Medical, and all are inspected and qualified before shipping.
Sundaram Nagarajan took over as president and CEO of Westlake-based Nordson Corp. in August 2019.
He was drawn to the company s strength, but that strength presented a challenge. Nordson didn t need a CEO to come in and turn around the business. It needed someone who could figure out what was next, what would take it to the next level.
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.
