Happy sweet sixteen, TGI!

Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Technology Group International celebrates its sweet sixteen this week. And now, to open the photo album… In 1990, Scott Smith co-founded TGI with Dennis Schmedlen and Bob Goldstine. After sixteen years, Scott still remains to celebrate the company’s birth. Smith attended both Harvey Mudd College and the University of Toledo, graduating with a Ph.D. in physics.

After exploring a career in academics and receiving research awards such as the Thomas Benjamin Brown Memorial Physics Research Award, Smith joined Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation. There, Smith held various positions in information systems, sales and marketing, finance, purchasing, and strategic planning, ultimately running a US $150 million transportation and logistics group for the Construction Products Group.
