"Albert W. Ondis has been the CEO of Astro-Med, the specialty electronics manufacturer in West Warwick, since it launched two years after he founded the company’s predecessor, Altan-Tol, in 1969. These days, Ondis could be called the elder statesman of the Rhode Island technology community – one of the only local tech entrepreneurs who can also tell stories about enlisting in the Army Air Corps during World War II or recall the days before the PC revolution. Ondis talked with Providence Business News recently about Astro-Med’s success, how he stays current in a changing world, and what lies in store for the state’s economy."
