"I would like to congratulate both Jerry and Steve on their well-deserved promotions," said Jonathan Adamson, chairman of Syncrolite. "I am excited about the future prospects for our company under their leadership."
"I want to thank the board for its confidence in promoting me to the CEO role. We have managed through a lot of change at Syncrolite over the past two years, especially with the passing of Jack Calmes, Syncrolite's founder and CEO, but I'm confident that we have the team and ownership commitment to allow Syncrolite to continue to succeed," remarked Trojan when asked to comment about the promotion.
