Executive Leadership
Albert Zalcmann
President and CEO
Albert has been leading UTRS for over 30 years, continually and enthusiastically fostering an entrepreneurial and innovative spirit grounded in good business sense. His perpetual encouragement of fresh ideas and open dialogue has led to our growth into numerous markets supported by an ever-expanding range of technical capabilities. In both word and action he consistently emphasizes the significance of each and every member of the UTRS family, as well as the importance of honoring commitments and delivering value to our partners.
Prior to UTRS, Albert’s degrees in Metallurgical Engineering and Environmental Engineering were put to use for decades supporting clients and efforts that foreshadowed some of UTRS’s current capabilities. As a senior metallurgist for the U.S. Army, he supported armaments research, innovative production techniques, modernization, and improvements. As the Plant Metallurgist at the U.S. Mint, he investigated and oversaw the incorporation of advanced manufacturing technology and prototype development. His years as a senior engineer and director for defense contractors led to multidisciplinary expertise with the Army, Navy, and Air Force, their technological needs, administrative systems, and contracting methodologies. In addition to increasingly broad corporate management responsibilities, through these experiences he also gained direct knowledge of numerous and diverse technical areas as varied as aircraft corrosion protection, automatic test equipment, environmental protection, and safety management.
Albert’s inquisitiveness, openness to new ideas, and genuine interest in people continues to inspire UTRS.
Steve George
Executive Vice President
Steve is one of the leading experts for weapons systems, interior ballistics, and propellent development. Currently, he provides direct oversight for all UTRS support to Picatinny Arsenal, Rock Island Arsenal, and Redstone Arsenal.
Throughout a career that spans more than four decades, including almost 30 years at UTRS, Steve’s philosophy has been to work closely and be integrated with the customer – understand their near-term objectives and long-range goals, and provide options and strategies that will meet and exceed their requirements.
After starting his career at Picatinny Arsenal in 1980 as a project manager, software engineer, and data reduction analyst, Steve worked on every weapons system that Picatinny was developing. Over the years, as weapons systems matured and new technologies emerged, Steve continued to be involved with more complex technical efforts and management roles. Since joining UTRS in 1995, he emerged as a trusted leader who has significantly grown the number of programs and expanded the amount of work under UTRS’s portfolio.
His extensive experience with program management includes high-visibility military system acquisitions, weapons research and development, and innovative programs that involve multidisciplinary expertise. Additionally, Steve has written numerous business and strategic plans for defense and commercial organizations, and collaborated on a plethora of comprehensive technical studies, assessments, and novel research initiatives – one of which led UTRS to achieve two patents on a breakthrough titanium production process in our UTRS Montana laboratory.
Steve earned his BA in Economics from Drew University and is certified under the International Standards Organization (ISO) as an IS0-9000 series Lead Auditor/Assessor. He currently serves as President of the NDIA Picatinny Chapter and President of the Picatinny Enhancement Coalition. He is also the recipient of both the the NDIA Firepower Award and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Service Member Patriot Award.
