Plastic tubing manufacturer, NewAge Industries, recently named two new members to its Board of Directors. The gentlemen join current board members Cecil Ursprung and Pat Sacco, and are now part of the team steering the strategic plans of the employee-owned company.
NewAge CEO Ken Baker invited the new members, Jim Henderson and Andreas Georghiou, to help plan the years ahead for NewAge Industries, its employee owners, and its customers as the company expands.
Over the past several years, NewAge Industries’ product lines have diversified to include AdvantaPure® high-purity biopharm and pharmaceutical products, which are now being used in the battle against COVID-19, and BrewSavor® hose for the beer brewing industry. In August 2019, NewAge became 100% employee owned, the culmination of a plan that had been in the works for over 15 years.
Baker, recognizing that additional experienced leadership was needed to help continue the company’s success, invited Henderson and Georghiou to join NewAge’s Board of Directors earlier this year.
