H. Betti Industries Inc., the parent company of Betson Enterprises, the leading distributor of location-based amusement products, announces the retirement of industry veteran Rick Urba. Rick has spent over four decades with the company, most recently as Corporate Controller. Carmine Sodora will join the company as his replacement and new Corporate Controller.

“Rick and I have worked together directing the financial activities of H. Betti Industries since 1980.

Betti Industries. “We wish him well in his retirement.”

With Rick’s retirement, the company is pleased to welcome Carmine Sodora as its Corporate Controller. Carmine brings over 20 years of experience in finance, having served as a Chief Financial Officer and Controller in various industries.

Betti Industries. “We feel he will be an excellent addition, and are excited to welcome him to our team.”

Still a family-owned business today, H. Betti Industries has grown to become a leader in the entertainment industry as the parent company of Betson Enterprises and Imperial. Betson Enterprises is the worldwide leader in distributing location-based amusement equipment, parts, and service.
