Tony Thornton is directly responsible for all aspects of the company's growth and operations in the international power generation and energy markets.
Born in Scotland, Tony began his career with Weir Pumps of Glasgow, serving an engineering apprenticeship. From there he took a position with General Electric, where he traveled internationally providing power-plant project management and consulting services.
In 1988, he moved to the USA and became Vice-President and co-owner of Turbine Technology Services, an international energy services firm that was acquired by the NYSE-listed Teleflex Corporation in 2000. After the acquisition, Tony remained with Teleflex as a Senior Vice-President, his primary role being to develop their international power generation services portfolio.
Following the management buyback of Turbine Technology Services in 2004, Tony has been using his 28 years of gas turbine and business experience to oversee the successful renewal of TTS’ global power generation businesses.
Tony holds an HNC in Mechanical Engineering from the Glasgow College of Technology (now the Glasgow Caledonian University) and an MBA from the University of Central Florida. He is an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a member of the ASME’s International Gas Turbine Institute’s Electric Power Committee.
