Manthey, Vice President of Corporate Finance and Investor Relations, will succeed Mr. Brunk as Mohawk’s next chief financial officer.
“It has been a privilege to serve as CFO at Mohawk, and I am proud of the progress our Company has made during the past 20 years, as we became the global leader in flooring,” said Mr. Brunk. “I am grateful to our leadership team and finance team for their excellent work. I have had the pleasure of working with exceptional people around the globe, and those relationships have been the most gratifying part of the job. I am proud of all we have accomplished as a team.”
Mr. Brunk has worked closely with Mr. Manthey to ensure a smooth transition, and Mr. Brunk will support Mohawk in a senior advisory role following his retirement.
“I appreciate Jim’s many contributions to Mohawk’s success,” said Jeffrey S. Lorberbaum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “His leadership was instrumental in Mohawk becoming the world’s largest flooring company by entering new geographies, integrating significant acquisitions and driving business expansion around the globe. Jim has positioned Mohawk to build upon its years of success with a dedicated team of talented professionals and a strong financial position that will support our future growth.”
