Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), a division of J.M. Huber Corp., recently announced the retirement of President Andy Trott. Chuck Herak, currently vice president and general manager of HEM’s silica business, has been selected to succeed Trott as the next president of HEM.
“We will greatly miss Andy and his terrific leadership impact on Huber, as he’s been a tremendous asset,” said Mike Marberry, CEO. “After learning of Andy’s plans to retire, he and I worked closely on developing a succession plan for HEM and shared a common ambition of filling positions that would open as a result of his retirement from within, drawing from our successful leadership development programs across the company. Under Chuck’s leadership, Huber’s global silica business has been a very strong performer that’s shown substantial profit improvements and we’re looking forward to have him now lead the HEM business.”
