Renishaw Inc. remembers and recognizes the significant contributions of machine tool industry icon Barry Rogers, who passed away suddenly May 18, 2024. Rogers’ extensive 50-plus year career in the machine tool industry included a more than 20-year run in various senior sales and marketing, and engineering roles for Renishaw Inc.

“Barry had a pronounced influence on our sales and marketing team that continues today,” says Denis Zayia, president Renishaw Americas. “He worked and lived passionately and whether he was creating sales strategies, cooking, hunting or riding motorcycles, Barry did it with a contagious enthusiasm. He was truly one of a kind.”

Rogers started his machine tool career as a Journeyman Tool & Die apprentice with Microswitch, a division of Honeywell. Other career stops included John Deer Harvester and LK Metrology, before landing at Renishaw. After Renishaw, Rogers spent time at Sunnen Products Company and as the VP global director of sales for Haas Automation, before starting his consulting company Alpha Strategies.

A celebration of life will take place Friday, June 7, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. in South Elgin, Illinois.
