The company has initiated a search of internal and external candidates for his successor. Mr. Thaxton will remain in his current role throughout this transition period.
Sundaram Nagarajan, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “On behalf of the entire Board and Nordson team, I want to thank Greg for his leadership. Greg has been an incredible partner as I’ve transitioned into the role of CEO. His passion for Nordson, our customers, employees and shareholders is evident to everyone who interacts with him. We expect this to be a smooth transition, and I appreciate Greg’s commitment to stay with us until his successor is identified and onboarded.”
“I have had a wonderful career with Nordson, and I know this strong company’s future is secure with Naga and the Nordson leadership team. During my tenure, Nordson has grown from $282 million in revenue to $2.2 billion, expanded profitability, and entered new end markets, geographies and applications. It has truly been a pleasure to participate in this great organization’s success. As we prepare for Nordson’s next chapter of profitable growth, the company is well positioned and I’m ready to pass the torch to a new generation of leadership,” said Mr. Thaxton.
