Richard “Rich” Ryan, president and CEO of Dorner Mfg. Corp., died in a motorcycle accident Saturday, Sept. 8, while traveling in the western United States. He was 59 years old.
According to a statement on the conveyor manufacturer's website, he began his career with Dorner in October 2005, when he was hired as its COO. He held that position until this past June, when he was appointed president and CEO following the company’s acquisition by Pittsburgh-based Incline Equity Partners.
