ATS founder

Klaus WOERNER, the founder, chief executive officer and president
of ATS
Automation
Tooling
Systems
Inc., has died of cancer at
age 65, the company said.
Mr. WOERNER was one of the country's most successful immigrant
entrepreneurs. He trained as a clock maker and tool maker in
Germany before moving to Canada in 1960. Initially, he intended
to work on the Avro Arrow. Then prime minister John
DIEFENBAKER
cancelled the fighter plane project before the 20-year-old could
get his hands on it.
Instead, Mr.
WOERNER took jobs in Montreal, while he worked to
complete his Canadian high-school diploma and as he began evening
engineering courses. After several years, he moved to Toronto.
He founded
ATS in 1978 as a tool and die manufacturer, taking
out a second mortgage on his home and investing $70,000. After
the company landed several large contracts, Mr.
WOERNER steered
it into the then-nascent area of robotics. Today,
ATS designs
and produces automated manufacturing and test systems for big
companies in the automotive, electronics, medical and consumer
products industries. The Cambridge, Ontario, firm employs about
4,000 people and posted annual sales of $665-million in 2004.
Shares of
ATA fell 27 cents to close at $12.15 yesterday on the
Toronto Stock Exchange.
