Mark Fultz ’80 as chair of the board of trustees. Fultz has been a trustee since 2008, having served as vice chair since 2015. Fultz is retired CEO of Abtex LLC in Dresden, New York. He joined Abtex Corporation in 1993 as vice president of sales and marketing. Abtex is a deburring technology company that manufactures abrasive filament deburring brushes and application-specific deburring systems to the North American manufacturing industry. In 2003, he became president, CEO, and owner of the company. During his highly successful presidency, Abtex grew substantially and greatly expanded and diversified its product offerings. Prior to joining Abtex, Fultz served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. He then joined Air Products & Chemicals Inc. as a sales representative in the Rochester, N.Y., branch. In 1988, he was promoted to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, branch sales manager. Fultz earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Lycoming in 1980. He was invited by Lycoming to be the James W. Harding Executive Speaker in 2014, where he spoke about technical advances in manufacturing, such as 3D printing and robotics. Fultz has a strong family history with the College. Dan Fultz ’57 ’01H, his father, has been a two-time employee, alumni board president, philanthropist, campaign chair, and trustee. Perhaps the elder Fultz is most notable for having planted numerous trees on what now bears his name as the Fultz Quadrangle in recognition of his service to Lycoming. He and his late wife, Helen, have been among Lycoming’s most generous donors. They established the John P. Graham Endowed Teaching Professorship and have supported many scholarships, memorial funds, capital projects, and campus initiatives spanning decades. Most recently, the family supported the Krapf Gateway Center by funding the Fultz Family Alumni & Advancement Suite. D.
