Memorial Message
I was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Alan Parrott.
Mr. Parrott made an outstanding contribution to the global development of Amada over many years.
In particular, his role in establishing and expanding Amada’s business foundation in Europe was truly significant. His exceptional leadership, strong conviction, and unwavering commitment have left a lasting impact on many people.
As someone who had the privilege of serving in Amada’s management during the same era, I have always held great respect for his decisiveness, sense of responsibility, and his consistent dedication to both the shop floor and customers.
To me, he was more than a business leader—he embodied the very values of the company.
His passing is not only a great loss to Amada, but also to the entire precision sheet metal industry.
His achievements and the principles he upheld will continue to inspire and guide future generations.
I would like to express my deepest condolences and offer my sincere prayers for his peaceful rest.
My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who had the honor of working with him during this difficult time.
