Kadant Inc., Westford, Mass., USA, reports that former U.S. Senator Scott Brown, (R-Mass.) has been appointed to its board of directors. This appointment was made following the retirement of Francis L. McKone, a member of Kadant's board of directors since 1998.
"During his time in public office, Senator Brown has gained a wealth of experience on local, state, national, and international issues and I am pleased that he has agreed to join our board of directors," said Jonathan W. Painter, president and CEO of Kadant. "His good judgment and pragmatic approach to solving problems will be a strong asset to Kadant as we continue to grow our business throughout the world.
"Senator Brown's appointment to our board reflects our strong ties to Massachusetts. Kadant was founded in Massachusetts, our headquarters are in Westford, and one of our principal manufacturing facilities is in Auburn. Another former U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, Paul Tsongas, also served on our board of directors in the 1990s."
Senator Brown said that "I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute to Kadant and learn more about the challenges of an international business. Kadant has been on the forefront of designing and manufacturing equipment to recycle and produce paper for decades. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences and contributing to the future direction and growth of this global leader."
