Perlick Corp. has announced the appointment of Paul R. Peot as president and CEO. Peot succeeds interim CEO Fred Luehrs, who retired in December 31, 2011.
To transition Perlick into its fifth generation of family ownership, Luehrs, along with Perlick family members and former co-CEOs Steve Bergum and Larry Molinari, will remain active in the company business through Perlick’s board.
“We are pleased to have Paul join the Perlick family,” said Steve Bergum. “Along with his impressive leadership qualities, Paul’s global perspective, marketing expertise and strategic vision will accelerate the future growth of our business.”
Prior to joining Perlick, Peot was the global VP of marketing and engineering for Enerpac and VP of intellectual property and collaborative innovation at Master Lock Co.
“My goal is for Perlick to experience continued success as we find new ways to better serve our customers, expand our markets, and be the best provider of products and services in the industry,” said Peot. “I’m truly excited to lead Perlick in this next chapter of what is already an impressive era.”
