Beaulieu of AmericaDALTON, Ga. – The nation’s third largest floor covering manufacturer is shaking up its management team after refinancing its debt last October.
The Beaulieu Group announced today that Karel Vercruyssen, president of Beaulieu of Canada for the past five years, is president and chief operating officer of the entire Beaulieu Group.
Reporting to Vercruyssen will be Nicolas Bouckaert, the newly appointed president of the commercial division, and two newly formed divisions led by vice-presidents Phil Bates over woven fabrics and Hans Bakker over specialty fabrics.
Del Land will remain chief financial officer and Peter Farley will continue as legal counsel to round out the company’s executive team.
Ralph Boe, who maintains his leadership as chief executive over the entire Beaulieu Group, said the changes reflect Beaulieu’s continued plan to strengthen and grow its position in the market after securing a $230 million loan refinance package last October and adding new accounts since last fall.
