Dynamic Materials to Unify Its Worldwide Explosive Metalworking Business Under "Nobelclad" Brand; Jeff Nicol Promoted as Nobelclad's Senior Vice President and General Manager
(firmenpresse) - BOULDER, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/18/12 -- Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM) today announced it will combine the worldwide operations of its Explosive Metalworking business under its venerable Nobelclad brand. Operations uniting under the Nobelclad name are DMC Clad Metal in North America, Dynaplat in Germany, Nobelclad in France, as well as the segment's global sales and marketing organization.
The rebranding program is designed to unify DMC's family of collaborative cladding facilities under a single, recognized moniker. Nobelclad originated in the mid 1960s as one of the world's first commercial explosion welding operations, which was based in Rivesaltes, France. The name paid homage to the forefather of commercial explosives, Alfred Nobel, who patented dynamite in 1867 and founded one of Nobelclad's predecessor companies. The Nobelclad business was acquired by DMC in 2001.
"Nobelclad has been a respected name in the explosion-welding industry for more than four decades," said Yvon Cariou, DMC's president and CEO. "As we continue our push into new industrial end markets and proceed with our expansion in Asia, we will do so under a singular long-standing brand that is associated with the highest quality products and solutions available in the explosion welding sector."
DMC also announced that Jeff Nicol has been promoted to senior vice president and general manager of the worldwide DMC Nobelclad business. Nicol, who operates out of the Company's headquarters in Boulder, was previously vice president and general manager of DMC Clad Metal in North America, and joined the Company in 2008 as the segment's vice president of sales and marketing. Previously, he spent 21 years with Alcoa, where he ascended to chief metallurgist and global marketing director.
"Since joining the Company four years ago, Jeff has become an authority on the global cladding industry and the markets that utilize our products," Cariou said. "Jeff is a talented and strategic leader, and he and our incoming CEO, Kevin Longe, have already established a strong working relationship. Kevin and I are looking forward to Jeff's expanded contributions as we collectively work to advance Nobelclad's growth initiatives."
