Titan Chemicals Corp Bhd has appointed American Warren William Wilder as its new managing director to replace Thomas Patrick Grehl, who stepped down three days ago but remained as a senior advisor to the company.
In a statement yesterday, Titan said Wilder was previously senior vice president (Olefins) of Westlake Chemical Corporation, where he was responsible for the leadership and strategy of the US$2 billion revenue business. He was also directly responsible for leading its manufacturing, global procurement, marketing and sales operations. He had also worked for Exxon and Kock Industries.
With more than 20 years experience in refining and chemical manufacturing, technology, sales and marketing, corporate finance, feedstock procurement and supply chain management, Wilder is also a director of Nasdaq-listed ICO Inc and a member of the chemical sub-committee of the US National Petrochemical and Refining Association.
“Titan Chemicals is well positioned to face the challenges in our industry. There are business opportunities in the region which are very attractive,” Wilder said in the statement.
