InfoSight Corp., Chillicothe, Ohio, a manufacturer of industrial marking machines, metal tags, metal tag printers, and bar code readers, has announced the death of its founder, chairman, and CEO, Dr. John A. Robertson, Dec. 2.
Robertson held 56 patents and served as president of the Electrostatic Society of America. He was a Fellow in the Instrument Society of America, named to the AIDC100 Hall of Fame, a graduate of the Harvard Business School OPM Program, and recognized as Entrepreneur of the Year twice.
After earning a PhD in electrical engineering and physics from the University of Illinois, Robertson joined Mead Corp. Central Research, where he became recognized as a world expert in high-speed ink jet technology. He later founded Telesis as an invention-on-demand laboratory that produced as many as 50 unique products per year. The company eventually focused on product marking and traceability. In 1993 he sold Telesis and along with 13 employees founded InfoSight. In 2018 Robertson achieved his dream of leaving a legacy for the employees of InfoSight by completing the company’s transition to 100% employee owned.
