ContiTech AG’s executive board appointed Charles Seymour, vice president and general manager for Veyance North America, to the position of executive vice president of ContiTech NAFTA, starting immediately.
Seymour joined Veyance Technologies Inc. as vice president and general manager of the North American region in March 2010. A native of northeast Ohio, Seymour was born and raised in Cleveland. He earned his BA from Bowdoin College, majoring in economics and government. He received his MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In this new position, Seymour will coordinate joint forces to meet the needs of customers and strengthen the ContiTech business in this newly established region, taking into account the combined businesses of ContiTech and Veyance.
ContiTech acquired Veyance Technologies Inc. in January. The former Veyance offices in Fairlawn, Ohio, will serve as ContiTech’s North American regional home office.
