Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Xerium Technologies, Raleigh, N.C., USA, has appointed Harold C. Bevis its new CEO, president, and director. Bevis has been CEO, president, and director of Pliant Corp. and Jordan Telecommunication Products, and has held executive positions with Emerson Electric and General Cable Corp. He is a 1983 graduate of Iowa State University, receiving an Industrial Engineering degree and earned his MBA from Columbia University in 1988.

Coincident with the appointment of Bevis, James F. Wilson, currently Xerium's lead director, has been named chairman of the board. Wilson joined the Xerium Board of Directors in June 2010 and has served on the compensation and nominating committees since that time. He is a principal at Carl Marks Management Co., an investment firm that is a significant shareholder of Xerium stock.

As a result of separating the chairman and CEO roles, Xerium's board of directors will no longer have a lead director.
