Apogee Names President for TruVue
Unit |
|
Apogee Enterprises, Inc.
today announced the promotion of Thomas Graham, 61, from vice president
and general manager to the new position of president at Apogee's TruVue
unit. TruVue, based in McCook, Illinois, is the world leader in
value-added glass products for the picture framing industry.
In making the announcement, Russell Huffer, chairman and chief executive officer, cited Graham's strong contribution to building TruVue from a relatively low-profit unit with $16 million in revenues ten years ago to a $38 million business with solid margins today. "Tom's drive and vision have built a stronger business and created more opportunity for all of our employees," Huffer noted. "It's a pleasure to provide him with a title that reflects his role." Graham joined TruVue in 1990 as vice president and general manager after more than three decades in various manufacturing positions with Owens-Illinois Inc. Since then, the business has grown from two glass products to ten, TruVue added matboard to its product line through a 1993 acquisition and TruVue expanded into a new facility in McCook in 1999. |
