Gunter Waehling Named

Henschel Vice President

Gunter J. Waehling

Gunter J. Waehling has been named vice president and general manager of Henschel, a Newbury- port-based producer of ship control and internal communications sys- tems for naval applications.

He succeeds George Curry, who retired in May prior to the acquisition of Henschel by SPD

Technologies. George M. Gordon, president and chief executive officer of SPD, had directed Henschel's op- erations during the last month until the new vice president was select- ed.

Mr. Waehling had served as vice president, manufacturing since join- ing Henschel in 1975. Prior to that, he spent nine years with United

Shoe Machinery Corp., and before that he was with U.S. Gear Corp. for three years.

In announcing the appointment,

Mr. Gordon noted that plans for new product development at Hen- schel would be accelerated now that the company is part of the SPD organization, which also serves nav- al markets with advanced electronic systems. "Henschel and SPD have a com- mon objective: enhancing our lead- ers hip positions, respectively, in advanced electronic systems for naval applications," Mr. Gordon said.
