Salem, N.J.—Jack Ganley has been named president of Mannington Mills’ commercial business unit. He replaces Dick Bierie, who had been president of the division since 2000. Ganley comes to Mannington with nearly two dozen years of commercial flooring industry experience, all at the manufacturing level. He spent 22 years with Lees Carpets, where he gained experience in product development, manufacturing, sales and general management. Ganley was Lees’ president from 1995 until 1998.

During that period he is credited with helping to shape and execute the company’s successful strategy. In 1998, Ganley was promoted to president of Burlington House Division, a sister company of Lees under the Burlington Industries umbrella. He remained in that position until Burlington was sold last year. Tom Davis, president and CEO of Mannington Mills, noted “[Jack] brings a wealth of experience and an impressive track record in commercial flooring to the company and we are very pleased to have him on board. “The general economic outlook, combined with the new products, programs and services we have planned for next year,” he concluded, “will make 2005 very exciting for all of us.”
