From 2001 to 2002, Mr. Cornog, now retired, served as the Chairman of Snap-on Incorporated, a leading manufacturer and marketer of tool, diagnostic and equipment solutions for professional tool and equipment users. From 1992 to 2001, Mr. Cornog served as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Snap-on Incorporated. Mr Cornog joined Snap-on Incorporated in 1991 as its President and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to that, Mr. Cornog served as President of MacWhyte Company. Mr. Cornog is a director of Johnson Controls, Inc. and Wisconsin Energy Corporation/Wisconsin Electric Power Company.
