We were very fortunate to have found that person within our company. Richard Lewin has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities during his time as President and the Board is very confident that we have the right person to be the Chief Executive Officer and lead our 100-year-old, employee-owned company for many years.”
Mr Lewin said, “I am honored by the opportunity to lead this dynamic organisation. We have expanded our reach dramatically over the past several years in both the worldwide markets we serve and the products we offer. We, as employee-owners of The Will-Burt Company, have created a positive culture that I am proud to be a part of and I am looking forward to leading this company through its second century.”
Mr Lewin has spent 10 years at Will-Burt in a variety of roles. Initially hired to be the Commercial Director at Will-Burt EU in the United Kingdom, Richard also served as sales director, vice-president and general manager, and as the senior vice-president responsible for all worldwide businesses.
