In 2019, Brian, along with a group of experienced executives, acquired Leak Detection Associates (LDA), a manufacturer of helium-based container and package testing systems marketed and used by the pharma, biotech and packaged food industries to insure the integrity of their package systems. Brian will serve as company CEO and will oversee all aspects of the operation on both a macro and micro level.
