Michael W. Entz has been named CEO of Cosmo Specialty Fibers, Inc., The Gores Group, LLC announced. Cosmo Specialty Fibers was formed after The Gores Group acquired Weyerhaeuser Co.'s high purity cellulose mill in Cosmopolis, Wash., USA. Entz will oversee the complete refurbishment and restart of the mill, which closed in 2005.

Timothy Meyer, Managing Director of The Gores Group, noted that Entz has proven himself to be a strong leader with a talent for achieving full operating potential in his mills.

Entz said he was looking forward to starting production as soon as possible. Most recently, he worked at NewPage Corp. in Escanaba, Mich., where he oversaw operations for the company's largest coated paper manufacturing facility. He previously held management positions at Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. and West Point Pepperell.
