About ECM

East Coast Metrology, LLC (recognized as ECM – Global Measurement Solutions), is a privately owned company delivering quality dimensional metrology, 3D Scanning, and engineering support services to a diverse range of industries at a global level. The company has experienced steady growth since it was founded in 2001 by Gary Confalone, current President and CEO.

Gary Confalone, CEO

Gary Confalone has been working in the metrology industry for the past 20 plus years. He began his career as a Systems Engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft. At Sikorsky Gary was an active member of the American Helicopter Society, where he was involved in laser metrology research as it applied to the production of the Army’s RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter. He received the Inventor’s Recognition Award from Sikorsky Aircraft where he spent close to a decade developing various laser based measurement and boresighting systems in support of the Comanche, Special Ops Blackhawk, Navalhawk, and S-92 programs.

After leaving Sikorsky and moving to Boston, Gary became the East Coast Sales Engineer for SpatialMetrix Corp. (SMX), and then went on to become the Director of Business Development for Laser Projection Technologies. Gary received a Bachelors of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts with a minor in optical physics. He continued his graduate studies in optical physics and engineering earning a Masters of Science Degree in Engineering from Boston University. 

Today, many years later, Gary is the CEO of East Coast Metrology (ECM). Gary exercises an extreme passion for STEM related initiatives and is an advocate for creating a higher awareness for women in the metrology industry. Gary currently serves as Past Chairperson and is an active member of the Coordinate Metrology Society and the Certification Sub-Committee.
