CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIF.— Johnson Premium Hardwood Floors has promoted Bill Schollmeyer to the newly created position of CEO. Tracy Lee remains president of the company.

Johnson Ku, chairman, said the company is “aggressively positioned for profitable growth in the prefinished hardwood flooring segment, [and] the position was created because there was a need for someone with the leadership and strategic skill along with the experience to connect all segments of Johnson’s nationwide markets.”

Schollmeyer has been with the manufacturer for four years, most recently as vice president of sales. Prior to joining Johnson, he was vice president of product management for Hoboken Floors with responsibility for managing and overseeing its domestic and overseas sourcing. He also has flooring manufacturing experience via sales positions at Mannington and Hartco.
