Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President “Steve is leaving us in a solid position,” said Michelman. “We are set up to be more vital and impactful than ever be- fore, and I am ready to lead the business into the future as the coatings, printing & packaging, and fibers & compos- ites markets continue to need our sustainable solutions. Our global associates and customer relationships have positioned us for continued growth in these markets that embrace sustainability. It’s an exciting time at Michelman.” Cincinnati, Ohio based Michelman has announced Dr. Richard (Rick) I. Michelman will become the organization’s next President & CEO, effective January 1, 2022. At that time, longtime leader Steven J. Shifman, President & CEO since 2003, will assume the role of Executive Chairman. Founded in 1949, Michelman has been an industry leader for over seven decades in developing and applying sustainable and water-based surface modification tech- nology. This leadership transition assures that the compa- ny will continue to be family-owned and managed for the long term. “I am tremendously proud of having led and grown our company globally for nearly 20 years,” said Shifman. “Moreover, I have strived to lead the company so that our ability to grow sustainably for good has been enhanced. Michelman is comprised of hundreds of values-based and purpose-driven associates, and I am appreciative that we continue to leave a positive impact on the communities we serve and the world around us.
