Hicksville, N.Y.—Less than six months after
Pfleiderer AG acquired
Pergo, the company named
George Kelley president and CEO of the newly integrated flooring companies—Pergo and
Uniboard.
As part of this restructuring, Kelley oversees and directs all aspects of the North American flooring business. He replaced Tony Sturrus, who resigned earlier in the month from this position. Pfleiderer said Sturrus also relinquished his duties as CEO of
Pergo AB in order to pursue other personal interests. Succeeding Sturrus as Pergo AB’s CEO was Pfleiderer board member
Michael Ernst. Also,
Frida Rosenholm was elected deputy CEO of Pergo’s European operations.
Kelley came to Pergo after serving seven years as president and executive board member of Virginia-based Böhler-Uddeholm Specialty Metals, the North American production and sales division of High Speed Steels and Powder Metallurgy. Prior to joining Böhler-Uddeholm he held similar positions at Zapp USA, which specializes in metals.
