ProAmpac appoints new president
ProAmpac named a new leader for its flexible packaging products division. Rita Cox, previously president of the company’s extrusion and lamination business, is now president of flexibles products, succeeding previous leader Tom Loewald.
Loewald leaves ProAmpac to join Cambrex as the company’s new chief executive officer. He will immediately begin working with Cox as she transitions into the role.
“Rita’s deep industry expertise and leadership experience within our company uniquely position her as the ideal leader for our Flexibles Products division,” said Greg Tucker, chief executive officer of ProAmpac. “Rita brings an exceptional skill set and proven results to this role. She established our Extrusion and Lamination division as an industry pacesetter for innovation and she directly contributed to the company’s long-term growth by overseeing our integration of CEI in the fall of 2015. I am confident she will immediately continue building on the fantastic momentum we have within the Flexibles Products division, and I am so pleased to welcome Rita back to the ProAmpac family.”
Rita has also served as director of corporate human resources at ProAmpac. Before joining the company, she was president of CEI, held an executive leadership position with Reynolds Packaging Company’s Presto Products division, and served in several commercial and operational leadership roles with Alcan Packaging and Philips Electronics.
