Kevin Longe, president and CEO of DMC, and former interim president of NobelClad, said, I have worked closely with Antoine for the past eight years, and have been impressed by his growth as a leader, his commercial and operational skills, and his achievements in product, application and global market development. Antoine led our 2014 acquisition and startup of NobelClads flagship European manufacturing plant in Liebenscheid, Germany, as well the subsequent consolidation of our European operations. His many accomplishments have significantly enhanced NobelClads opportunities for future growth.

Longe added, We considered a number of external and internal candidates, and Antoine emerged as the best person for this role. I am very pleased the position was filled from within DMC, as it illustrates the depth and breadth of talent within our global organization.

We have assembled exceptional commercial, technical and operating teams that collaborate seamlessly around the world. We also have a healthy culture of safety, quality and customer service, and a compelling long-term growth strategy. I look forward to accelerating the deployment of that strategy, and am confident NobelClads future has never been brighter.
