Historical Note Paul Bergé received his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from the Nijenrode
Business School in the Netherlands. Prior to starting work in the automatic identification
field, Mr. Bergé worked in the computer industry at Phillips Data Systems, Nixdorff
Computer, and ITT Europe. In 1975, Bergé began working for the Plessey Company, a
recognized pioneer in the European bar coding business, European Headquarters in Brussels.
He joined Symbol Technologies in 1980 and established European operations in Brussels.
He was a managing director and remained in that position until 1988 when he was promoted
to Vice President of International Marketing. He subsequently transferred to the company's
headquarters in Bohemia, New York. Recognizing the need for a European equivalent
to the popular North American Scan Tech trade shows, in 1984 Mr. Berge` became founding
Chairman of Scan Tech Europe, the industry's European automatic identification industry
trade show. Soon after, he became founding chairman of the industry trade organization
AIM Europe, eventually serving as Chairman of AIM International. In July 1988, at
the request of the United Nations and working in cooperation with the China Institute
of Packaging and EAN, he spoke at venues in China. These lectures are credited with
China joining the worldwide International Article Numbering organization. Mr. Bergé
was made Executive Vice President of Olympus Symbol, Inc., a joint venture company
which combined portions of Olympus Optical Limited, of Tokyo, Japan and Symbol Technologies,
Inc., of Bohemia, New York, U.S.A. Bergé has received the Scan Newsletter International
Award and in 1989 was recipient of the American Auto ID industry's Dick Dilling Award
for his work in developing international bar coding markets.
Subjects Automatic identification and data capture Bar coding. Bar coding -- Equipment and supplies. System identification. Automatic data collection systems.
