BIRMINGHAM — Water Technology Advisory Board Member, industry veteran and Purolite sales manager Gary Schreiber passed away on Saturday, January 19.
Schreiber started his career in water treatment with Culligan International. He spent the last 19 years as a sales manager with Purolite and “was one of the most highly respected international water specialists in the industry,” stated his obituary.
