Manchester manufacturer Lydall is forming a new business segment by combining its thermal/acoustical metals and fibers businesses.
The new entity, dubbed Lydall Thermal/Acoustical Solutions, will be led by President Scott M. Deakin, who had been serving as executive vice president and CFO. Lydall has launched an external search for Deakin’s replacement. He will continue to serve as CFO until a successor is named, said CEO Dale G. Barnhart.
Aligning the two complementary businesses will allow Lydall to better serve customers and drive efficiencies across global operations, Barnhart said.
