CEO and as a member of the Company’s board of directors.
In his new position, Mr. Di Tosto will retain
his current responsibilities as CFO.
“This appointment reflects the continued growth
of our leadership group at Martinrea,” said Pat D’Eramo. “I have
worked side by side with Fred since I came here as President and
CEO almost ten years ago. We have visited every plant together,
have worked on every strategy together and faced challenges
together. Over that time, Martinrea has grown its footprint,
revenues, profits, profitability, cash flow and enterprise value.
The past year, although with challenges, was a record one for us in
many ways. As CEO, I look forward to working together with Fred,
Rob and the people of Martinrea for a long time to come, and I look
forward to our continued and growing success.”
Rob Wildeboer, Martinrea’s co-founder and
Executive Chairman, stated: “I have worked with Fred for almost two
decades now, and he has been one of the key reasons for our growth
and success. He has a passion for our business. He is a core member
of the leadership team, and he knows and practices our vision of
making people’s lives better by being the best we can be in all the
products we make and the services we provide. Pat and Fred are a
great team, and together we will drive the success and culture of
Martinrea, along with our fine group of executives, managers and
other members of the Martinrea family.”
Fred Di Tosto stated: “Martinrea is a great
company with a great future. I believed that the day I joined and I
believe that today. We have grown into an industry leader in many
areas and are performing at the top of our peer group, from both
operational and financial perspectives. We have proven our
capabilities time and time again over the years and are a go to
supplier for our customers. I believe that is in large part because
of the Golden Rule culture we promote here at Martinrea—we take
care of our people and we treat them with respect. I am extremely
grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing to
work with our great team here and to deliver value for our
employees, shareholders and other stakeholders.”
