ARVADA, Colo. -- Mark VII Equipment Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of WashTec AG of Germany, a major worldwide supplier of vehicle cleaning systems, has hired Murray Kennedy as its president and CEO. He replaces Christian Bernert, who will become CFO of WashTec AG effective Jan. 1, 2007.
Kennedy joins Mark VII from Richardson Electronics Ltd., where during his 12-year tenure he held the position of executive vice president and general manager of the Electron Device Group and of the Industrial Power Group. His prior experience includes management positions [image-nocss] with Litton Electron Devices Group and ITT Electron Devices Division.
Christian has done a great job of managing the transition and integration process since WashTec acquired Mark VII earlier this year. With Murray's engineering background and depth of management experience in a manufacturing environment, he's the ideal choice for leading the company, said Thorsten Krueger, spokesperson of the board of WashTec AG.
