Massachusetts-based UniTech Services Group has made Michael Bovino its new vice president, effective Jan. 1.
Bovino brings 35 years of management and contamination control experience to the post at the nuclear services company. The executive is a 29-year veteran of UniTech and its parent, UniFirst Corp., most recently serving as division general manager responsible for profit and loss at the UniClean branch, according to a December press release.
Joining UniTech in 1990, Bovino spent six years in health physics and engineering before moving into senior management. Prior to UniTech, Bovino worked for New Jersey-based Public Service Electric & Gas.
The Unitech manager has also been a voting member of the State University of New York (SUNY) Cortland Alumni Association Board since 2018.
Bovino replaces George Bakevich, who recently retired after 36 years as vice president, helping oversee company expansions in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
In the 1950s, UniTech became the first U.S. licensed provider of a radiological laundry service. Today it is one of the world’s largest suppliers of nuclear protective clothing and accessories. It also provides decontamination and testing of respirators and radiological equipment for both domestic and international nuclear markets. UniFirst is a supplier of industry textile services and work clothes.
