Chuck Ganzer, senior project engineer Nordson Adhesives Division, was recently recognized and honored with the Nordson Corporation Fellowship of Distinguished Inventors Award.

The Fellowship of Distinguished Inventors recognizes individual inventors who have made an important contribution to Nordson’s patented technology.

In his 27 years with Nordson Corporation, Ganzer has been granted 24 U.S. patents. His patents were instrumental for product development across all Nordson’s Adhesives Division served markets. Some of the industry-known products Ganzer has helped bring to market include SureBead applicators for packaging applications and Allegro nozzles for nonwovens product manufacturing.
