Michel Vermette, President and CEO, commented, “Since joining the Company in September I have spent time assessing the business, and it is clear that the current performance does not reflect the company’s potential. I have begun working with the teams to initiate a comprehensive review of all aspects of the business to allow us to address operational challenges, optimize our product portfolio, expand our customer reach, streamline processes and implement numerous best practices to better capitalize on market opportunities. As we begin the effort needed to overhaul and modernize the business, I am confident that the long-term upside for our company will be significant.”
