Obituary: In the 1990s, Gillette CEO Alfred Zeien poured money into production technology, including laser welding, while many other U.S. firms outsourced manufacturing
Alfred “Al” Zeien, who was chief executive of Gillette Co. in the 1990s, led the maker of razorblades through one of its most glorious eras and retired just as growth began to stall.
Under Mr. Zeien , the company’s sales doubled and its market value soared to about $63 billion in early 1999 from $6 billion in 1991. His fans included Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway Inc. owned more than 10% of the company.
