Kimberly Nelson will take over as president of Garmon Chemicals when the company’s founder, Maurizio Cappellini, retires next month.
Nelson helped lead the acquisition of Garmon Chemicals by Kemin Industries last year, and will become president of the Kemin Textile Auxiliaries business unit.
Since the acquisition, she has served as general manager of Kemin Textile Auxiliaries in India. Her appointment as president is part of a strategic growth plan to develop Garmon Chemicals’ R&D scope, commercial footprint and services.
“As president of Garmon Chemicals, Kimberly will ensure that Kemin stays at the forefront of this evolving industry. She will continue Garmon Chemicals’ innovation and leadership in textile auxiliaries,” says Dr Chris Nelson, president and CEO, Kemin.
Kimberly Nelson, who is a third-generation member of the family that owns Kemin, adds: “The legacy of Maurizio Cappellini will only be strengthened as we continue to develop, innovate and create. I’m determined to continue Garmon’s momentum by elevating its global presence, leveraging the first-class operations and extraordinary R&D capabilities to further our creative and sustainable initiatives.”
For more than 35 years, Cappellini led Garmon Chemicals to the top of the denim finishing industry. The company has manufacturing facilities in San Marino, Brazil, China, India and Turkey, and a global footprint in more than 30 countries.
