Ramesh commented that he is “proud to be part of the dedicated team in Singapore” and thankful for the “support from other Materion facilities, especially the sales and marketing teams that make it easy to reach out to customers to provide a better service.”

Both Ramesh and his wife are from South India and migrated to Singapore after marrying. With a degree in Mechanical Engineering, he was pleased to join Williams (Materion) Advanced Materials in 1998. His wife is a teacher and mother of three daughters, two in primary school and one in high school.  Ramesh is proud of his caring family and when not busy with his children, enjoys motor biking, and keeping up with his reading and writing.
