simplifying business
CEO Albert Chen Retires After 30 Years Telamon recently announced that CEO Albert Chen has
retired as of October 1, 2015. Albert will continue to serve as
Executive Chairman of the Board. Former COO Stan Chen,
representing the second generation of the Chen family, has
assumed the role of CEO.
Reflecting on his role as CEO, Albert Chen stated, “I am
grateful to have led this company for the last 30 years. I am
very proud of what our 1,400 plus-member team has
accomplished during times of both triumphs and
tribulations. I believe that this is the right time for me to
retire for multiple reasons. First, with various organizational
realignments and new key hires, Telamon has a team in
place that is capable of accelerating Telamon’s growth in the
various industries we serve. And secondly, Stan Chen has
been preparing for his new role as my successor for several
years by leading the operations of the following business
units: Telecom Solutions, Industrial Solutions, and Business
Process Solutions.”
Albert Chen will continue to advise the Telamon team on matters such as strategy, innovation, joint ventures, and mergers &
acquisitions. He will also help with talent assessment as well as coaching and mentoring the senior management team.
Stephanie Chen Fuhrmann, also a member of the Chen family second generation, and previously the President of Telamon’s
Telecom Solutions division, has stepped in as COO.
The following is a list of major accomplishments throughout Telamon’s 30-year history:
1989 – Second location in Chino, California, opens
1999 – Headquarter location moves to Carmel, Indiana, from Indianapolis, Indiana
2000 – Third location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (now moved to
Dayton, New Jersey), opens
2006 – Industrial Solutions business unit founded
2007 – Business Process Solutions business unit founded
2008 – China operation established
2009–2012 – Five additional locations open in Ohio, Missouri,
Kentucky, Arkansas, and Kansas

New Website Launch
At the beginning of October, Telamon launched a new, redesigned version of its website, www.telamon.com.
Telamon’s goal with its new website is to offer a clean, modern design, user-friendly functionality, and a content-rich
experience to visitors.
“Embarking on our 30-year anniversary, this is the perfect time for us to launch a revamped site,” said Alexa
Amatulli, Marketing Lead. “We are very excited about various new features, such as downloadable case studies,
which will provide users with real-life examples of how
Telamon simplifies business for its customers, and a more
organized newsroom that is color-categorized by business
unit.”
The updated design will make it easier for users to
navigate throughout the pages of Telamon’s five business
units. As a substantial improvement to Telamon’s previous
website which utilized side bar navigation, the new site will
guide users throughout the presented content so they can
access what is most relevant to them. Various business
unit pages, such as Energy Solutions and Industrial
Solutions, feature product and project images to showcase
Telamon’s breadth of industry experience. The new site will
also provide multiple ways to connect to Telamon, including direct links to Telamon’s Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn pages, where company updates will appear on a regular basis.

Industrial Solutions Launches Lean Initiative
With an eye to making step-
change improvements in cost,
quality, and delivery
performance, Industrial
Solutions now has a Lean
Leader (Ray Cooper) and a
Lean Steering Committee.
This group is responsible for
creating a lean culture
through the development and
implementation of “Telamon
Lean Systems”.
Borrowing liberally from companies who have impressive records of
lean manufacturing achievement like Toyota, Autoliv, Delphi, Nissan,
Rolls-Royce, and Boston Scientific, the team just kicked off the first
phase of this new continuous improvement culture by rolling out the
basic housekeeping discipline of 5S and visual management.
The team has created training documents, chosen pilot cells, and selected facilitators in the three Telamon
locations that support Industrial Solutions. First activities were launched in Carmel and Fresnillo, Mexico in August
and Dayton, Ohio in September.
