Arnold Schwartz, CEO and founder of Schwartz Engineering, has repeatedly rebuffed efforts by other firms in other countries to draw Schwartz Engineering into strategic alliances. Schwartz Engineering has built its highly successful business around proprietary processes invented by Mr. Schwartz in the 1980s.
